Looking good! Personally I like 35% on a black on black car. On lighter interiors I've gone a bit darker.

I loved my 35% all the way around. Unfortunately the law in Virginia is 50% on the sides and some county deputy pulled me over and gave me a ticket for it. I had the doors redone to State Legal 50% and now I hate it, but if I want to drive it and not have my wife cringe every time we see a cop it had to be done.

With 35% all the way around:

Looks great thinking about bringing mine over to get done tomorrow. Here in NY its 70% to be legal which leaves no options, but I generally don't have a problem. Every car I've owned has had tinted windows
