Default Window Tint - Pictures

I'm getting my windows tinted this week and the current MN laws are 50%. I did this percentage on my CTS, and think it's way too light. However, the IS-F seems to have base reflection....

With that, does anyone have any pictures of an IS-F with this percentage?

I know this is a matter of personal preference so all feedback is welcome.

Thanks for the pictures! I think 50% looks pretty good.

Also, very nice ride! I just ordered the Vossen CV7 mode. However, the CVT's fit the car very nice too!

Thanks for the feedback Gearbangin and LOVE the backdrop in the photo.

I ending up doing a 40% on it and I'm very happy with turnout. I'll post a picture this evening.

40% all around looks good. I'm definitely not a fan of no tint, and at one time I wanted a uniform tint percentage all around. But here in CA, that'll be too obvious. It did come out great for your F.

What color interior do you have? That plays a role as well.
A local friend has a 2014 IS250 with a white interior, while I have the 2012 ISF with black. We both have 20% and my car's tint looks MUCH darker. I'll try to get a picture of them next to each other the next time I run into him.

I just did 20% all around this past weekend and its still light due to my alpine white interior. I have seen 35% with alcantara blue interior and it was really dark. Worst come to worst, just pull the sun roof back
