^can you please comment on color??
I've heard some tints are pure black, some with greenish tint, bluish, purple...
I booked an appt to get the same 3M FX tint (25%), seems like it's a good way to go (any photos??)

went with 25% 3M f/x tint (dynamic tint in NJ did the install, great job)
normally I wouldn't go this dark, but the stone interior is light. Came out how I prefer, not too dark, not too light
Photos for ref, shade came out right, color is a little off:

It depends on the interior/exterior colors, but in general, I think 20% is nice. I have 30% LLumar metallic and I wish I had gotten the 20%. Some days it's dark/smokey enough, but sometimes it still looks greenish when the sun hits the windshield just right.

If that's 35% tint, then I'm guessing my rear windows are 20%. Bought the car with the rear doors and back window already tinted in 3M tint, and I've always been kind of curious what the percentage was.
Somewhat concerned having heavy tint in New York, but it's just the rear doors, which give the G kind of a VIP look. I didn't think I'd like it at first, but I really do now.

^Not sure about your area, but I never had a problem with tinted windows on Long island or in the city.
Big time, just based on observation, I'd say a light interior makes a tint look 10-15% lighter VS. dark interior.
20% with a black interior would look too dark for my taste. Also, mismatched tint (or non tinted front) looks goofy to me, but I understand people do this if law enforcement is a big concern

Good thing I didn't act on that, because I really like the way it looks now. Doesn't look goofy at all... to me.

I prefer even tint all the way around too, except for the front windshield of course. Yeah, 35% is a little on the light side. I have 30%, so it's a little darker, but even with black/black some days I wish I had gotten 20%. You can't really tell the difference between 20% and 30% from the inside anyway. Take a look through the moonroof. I think that's around 15% tint.
