Default surprised it came out "legal" since ...

there's usually a 5-7% factory tint. since tint is additive, that means you're actually around 28-30%.

Default Looks like 35%.....

Don't tint the front windshield with anything. It's like driving around at night with sunglasses on. Plus, I'm pretty sure it's illegal everywhere. In CT it is. I used to tint windows. 5% is daaaark. Used to have it on my Mustang. Looked nice, but driving at night takes a lot of getting used to and is still kinda dangerous. I have 35% on my TT now and it's perfect. Plus, your dark interior will make it look a bit darker. 20% is nice too, but looks a bit too dark for TTs in my opinion. Hope that helps...

Default is 35% dark? larger the number (i.e. 45%) the darker it is? or lighter?

just wondering...am thinking about getting a very light tint overall.

percentage is the amount of light let through, so larger is lighter
