Question Window Tint

Can any members post pics of their IS's with tinted windows (smokey granite mica if possible)? I wanted to get an idea as to what 20% or 35% would look like since I am thinking about doing it soon. Thanks.

no pics but a combination of 20% front and 35% rear would look nice, or 35 all around and 20 all around...i have 35% right now and it looks nice, might be switching to 20% soon

If you don't want people looking inside your car, get 20% from about 3 foot away.

Don't do anything higher than 20%...Anything higher is like not having tint at all...Complete waste of money

i would recommend 25% if your interior is dark and 20% if your interior is light. I made the mistake of getting 35%. It looks nice at night and at some angles during the day but people can still make you out. I'm planning on getting mine re-tinted, probably to 25%. This is mine with 35%.

Default Pics of 35% & 20% tint w/ gray interior?

Hello - I've searched the forums and found some nice pics of IS 2x50 tints. But I wasn't able to find any pics with 35% & 20% tint all around (except the front windshield) with the lighter leather interior. Does anyone have any pics of tint with the light gray interior? I have a 2008 IS350 SGM/Gray interior and would like some examples of 35% and 20%. I'm looking to get tint but can't decide of 35% or 20% and I know the inside color of interior can change the way it looks. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

i have 35% and i think this is the best color. i also have black interior though. try searching for my posts and you see my car. if you go 20% your more likely to get hassled by the police.
