Default tint question before i go to bed...

i got my car tinted the other day- 6% back, 6% rear windows, and 13% front two windows. now, the car looks a lot "cooler" (please pardon the lack of a better word) and for some reason the car looks like it's lower (go figure). but i'm still not sure if i got the right set up. i don't have pictures yet of the car but i would just like your guys' opinions of tints. do you think a car would look nicer with dark tint all around with the same % or dark tint just in the back and slightly lighter in the front. i'm sorta having second thoughts of maybe just doing 6% everywhere. lemme know what you think.

btw, i have a silver/silver so i sorta really need the really dark tint look. plus i like it like that =)

Default My god that's dark. Are you trying to draw the cops attention?

I went same % all around, but it was also 35%. Given the choice, I would have probably put 20% all around rather than just 20% in the back and 35% on the fronts. 35% is the legal limit in GA and I didn't want to fool with tickets and stuff.

Default i dunno but i think the film that makes it look less dark what a 6% should be.

you have to actually see it to understand what i mean. you think i should have the same % all around, though?

also, becuase the car is very light inside and out, the darker tint is sorta better. night driving isn't bad at all with 13% in the front. dunno about 6, though. i haven't sat in the back seat yet to get a feel of how dark it is.

Default Yes. I like same % all around, but laws sometimes drive that choice....

I would go as dark as the law allows.
