I have the same combo, DG/G.. I just got mine done 35% all the way around with Formula One Pinnacle ceramic tint.. not a great pic, but it kinda shows the tint's darkeness on the DG..

I'm sure if I went darker, it'd reject more heat, but I just didnt want to be a problem at night.. with 35%, its no problem at all.. my friend went 35% all the way around except for 20% on the rear window and the difference isnt that noticable (vision wise, not sure about heat rejection)

I have had 35% on maxima and wasnt satisfied with darkness. I now have 20% that seems to be appropiate.

Metallic content is what matters

I've tinted several cars... I have 35% right now, but it has a high metallic content. The metallic content has many benefits:

1. it REFLECTS light, so it doesn't heat up your car
2. it looks great
3. it does NOT distort color at all

Dark (dyed) tint tends to look purple or dull... that's the cheap stuff. Pay $200+ for the car and get REAL tint with metallic content (can be a blend of metallic & dye to save costs and not have mirrors for windows!)

I have 35% LLumar all the way around on my Coupe Blk/Grifite. I think the 35% is just fine!

Old car - I30 with light interior, 20% sides and rear

G35x - graphite interior, 35% sides, 20% rear

During the day, you can easily see through the sides, it doesn't look dark at all, am disappointed. The tint definately blocks the suns rays. If you don't want to get pulled over get the 35%, and get it darker in the rear. However, Id personally recommend 20% all around. Dark tint on a black car =

6% good googly moogly. Can you see clearly when it is raining and dark outside? Otherwise looks nice though.

I called a local shop and they recommended Sunguard High Performace series in 35/20%.

They said the HP series was a dyed film that would not fade and was a better choice than the metallic stuff due to the radio antenna in the window.

Anyone tried it?
