Hey all,

20% would be more "aggressive" looking.

35% is very light (imo) and much more "clean" looking.

yea i figured about the same.. i had 35% on my DG and it looked nice and clean but im think 20% on my new LP as i want to make it a bit meaner.. plus i plan on getting the Tien Basic set up for it and perhaps even the Stillen roof spoiler, so i think that would make for one mean lookin ride..
if anyone has any pics, please post em.. the one thread i did see had a glare in the 20% pic..

Go 20%, 35 is too light and you'll regret it.

I ran 35% on the windshield and all side windows of my GS400, and then 35% on all windows (includeing windshield) for the 7series. 35% is alot better when its on every window of the car, keeps it from looking too dark.

The darker rear window really helps too. Hope this helps!

I test drove a IP coupe with limo tint. It looked really nice but I could barely see anything. I can't imagine what the visibility would be like at night.

i have 35% all around and i love it! it keeps all the 'pigs' in their pin and let me be. at night, it's pretty dark. i dont like my tints be too much in the dark side because i'm not ugly

Thats a good point too, interior color plays a large part in how it looks

Tint to what %

I have 35% Tint and haven't had any problems with the "Man!" You didn't
mention where you were from, some states don't have any guide lines (yet)
other states have very spacific rules on how dark you may go. I believe 20%
is acceptable in most states with the exception of CA and by law they don't
want tint on the door windows. If you don't drive like an a$$ and bring attention to yourself you can get away with some lighter tints......don't go
with the reflective (mirror) automatic ticket/violation!
