Default SoCal + Heat = Tint

So I just got the LS about 2 weeks ago and it was getting hot, so here's the before and after. What you guys think?

Looks good. Personally I would've gone darker.

Only on the front windows, driver and passenger side and the front windshield you're not allowed to have any tint at all. Anything else you can go as dark as you want.

If you have a medical condition, you can get dark tint all around your car, even on your windshield (which looks awesome).

It's a cop thing. They want to see who's driving the car.

I was thinking about going darker in the back, but I didn't want it too dark. This is the darkest I've gone on any of the cars I've ever had.

I got nasty tint on my car, I'm thinking about removing it and going 5% all around except the front windshield.

I just told the guy who tinted them to go medium in the front and dark in the back. He told me that it would look a lot darker than normal because if the black interior. None of the options were labeled by %... sorry.
