Default Window Tint pics request please

I've got an appointment next week to tint my new vette. I was planning on doing 20%, but the tint brand I want only offers 15% in black closest to 20. I told him I'd do 15%, but I'd love to see some of your C6's with 20% or less.


Thanks for the time!!

The bigger the number, the more light is allowed to come through. So, the smaller the number, the darker the tint.

As for darker tint in the back...this is very popular, but my opinion is that it makes the back of the car look heavier and upsets the balance. However, I am pretty sure I am the ONLY person who feels this way as it seems everyone is in competition to see how dark they can get the back window.

I had 35% (max legal in GA AFAIK) put on mine a few weeks ago, and I wouldn't want them any darker myself.
