I've been wanting to get the same tint as yours (gray).
I have a black interior, so it would not look so dark from the outside.

Could you take picture of your SC? So I can get an idea of how it looks.

I have 20% on my sides and about 30% on the rear. I'm happy with it and it isn't too tough to see at night. I don't think I would go any darker.

20% all around and 35% full front windshield.

this it how it looks on an overcast day, but when the suns out you can see in it a bit more.

I say no tint, when you have no tint it makes the car look so much cleaner.

Ive always done all my cars at 20% and I love it. I really dont like people seeing inside my car for one and It keeps it super cool in the summer.....swimsuit + hot leather FTL! Ive never done the 35% windshield though....Might do it this time around and see how it does.

personnel preferance- tint always makes vehicles look better-

20% front
5% back

Different view here- not very much light gets in really-
