Tint Pictures and Recomendations

I have a G35 Black Coupe with navigation and want to have the windows tinted I was thinking of doing 35% all around, or doing 35% in the front and 20% rear. The reason Im not doing it any darker is because I live in the Bay area and no tint is allowed in the front so I dont want to get pulled over. Can people post pictures of their cars and tell me how much percent tint they got on it? If you have pictures in the shade and in the sun even better. Also what tints are the best for a black car that wont mess with the radio or navigation I have read not to get with metal.

Not sure about what tint will harm the radio/nav, but i did have 35% all around on my car ( tint place messed up because labling was wrong ) and i have to comment that it looked HORRIBLE. however the shop took the blame and replaced it free of charge back to 15%. have to say go with 15% or lower. 35% just looks wrong, almost like the tint didn't exist.

I have 50 in the front, 20 in the rear and 15 in the back, and after about 3 weeks I wanted darker. Go dark in the beginning. You'll be happier

Oh, and I have a black car with graphite interior. Just me. It's not too dark. And if you roll near a cop, just open your sunroof

I have a black sedan, 50% in the front and 35% in the rear. I love it. Good visibility at night and I've only been pulled over once for tint.

I'd go with the same % all the way around, it makes it look much cleaner. with 50% all the way around, you shouldn't get pulled over, it looks very natural. It also depends on your interior color, lighter interiors will make your tint look less dark.

The madico tints are supposed to be gps and radio friendly, even the metallic ones.

I went with the preferred image in redwood city. $200 cash for a sedan, all windows, madico charcoal tint. They told me they tint Barry Bond's cars, they've got pictures to show it.
