Default What color window tint for diamond white pearl?

I'm gonna get the windows tinted Thursday and trying to decide if I should just go with traditional smoke color tint or something else?

Yeah, I am going to go with a light graphite tint (50-75%) so that is see throughable(if thats a word) but you can still tell that the windows have been tinted and its still UV protective. And then get some curtins for anytime I actually need people not to be able to look in.

Edit: My car came with a chitty 35% job all around and I just dont like tint that dark. I like to be able to see out my windows at night like they arent tinted.

Holy Hell! Tell your friend he will not be able to see anything in or out of his car at night! Thats just not even practical.

Trust me I had 20 on my other car and I always had to lower my front windows when I saw cops to avoid any problems plus 20 is just too dark. I always had to lower my windows when I went to park.

I have 23% in the front and 17% for the backs... It doesn't look to dark to me, only because i was comparing to my friend's 5%...

go 34 for sides and rears. Use the titanium reflective tint. It gives the car a classy look and you cant really see in at night but gives you very good visability from the inside. In the day time it reflects the sun and gives a mirror look to yoru car. Very nice tint you should do that better. I dont like the black tint too much.
