Could you possibility take a picture of you car? I'm planning to get 50% as well since 40% F1 ceramic isnt offered here but im concerned it will be to light..

I'm using formula one tint from tint plus, down here in Southern California. I chose the 15% all around on my obsidian is-f, except the windshield. I think tint is a must have on the is-f, it goes well with the aggressive styling.

I like dark tint such as 15% or below but the cops in So Cal have nothing better to do than pull you over for your tint. So I usually stick with 30%

Agreed.

I've got 5% on all my rear windows and it can be a little dark at night. I'll be doing 20 or 30% on the front windows next month.
