Default tint tomorrow...

I am getting her tinted tomorrow and thinking 15% all the way around. There was a white z06 that I saw on here that had 15% on it but I cant find the pics through the searchers. Can anyone help?

This is 20%

Sorry it's not a Z.........

PS- I'm glad I didnt go any darker than 20%. It is tough seeing at night. Not so much other cars, but signs, pedestrians, etc.

I have 15% on my bimmer there is no problem what so ever seeing out, on a sunny day I always think i should of gone 5. My vette is in the garage so when it warms a bit its getting the 5%. I would go 5 u will have a little trouble seeing out at night but it looks so sick, Ps most people have no idea what percentage they have. If you can see in its not 5 if u cant it is. and for those dark looking pics that people say is 20 its not. 20% on a sunny day u can see right through the car, even with 15 on a bright day u can see in one side and out the other. I would go no lighter than 15 and would go %
