To tint or not to tint?

Hi all. I am a new owner of 2011 G37x sedan, BO with graphite. I am currently debating on doing a 3M 35% all around. I want to keep it subtle - those of you who have tint just curious on how happy you are and if yo have any regrets or words of advice. Thanks in advance!

I have 20% all around but I've been thinking about 15% all around. I vote for 35%,

Go for the tint! 35% looks pretty good IMHO. I've been using 3M on multiple cars and it's very solid tint, holds up well even after 5 years.

I did mine a couple of weeks ago. 35% and looks very classy, even my wife commented that it looks classy (she doesn't even notice cars).

rear defroster is fine in the winter. you wont have any bubbling issues or damage to the defroster if you take your g to a good shop and they install it properly. if you do happen to take off the tint, just be careful when doing the rear window as you could then potentially damage your rear defroster.

I have 35% on my OB G35x (wheat int) and I have 20% installed on my new 2011 OB G37S 6MT with graphite interior.
I think the 35% is probably dark enough looking with a graphite interior but I wanted a little bit more on the new one.

Thanks - I like to keep mods subtle, so definitly don't want it too dark.

50% 3M crystalline tint and I love it...had on 15% tint prior to and this is much better. Yesterday in the record heat in NY the side windows (tinted) were cool to the touch, the windshield was very hot.
