I think it looks good. Not too dark.
Try taking the pictures from further back and from a higher angle looking down a bit.
Maybe a quarter view from the front angled to the side.

yes its 35%

umm....come to think of it. When I was at the dealer getting my tint, they didnt have any % to choose from....all they had was light, medium, dark, and limo.

I guess light = 50%, medium = 35%, dark = 20%, and limo = 5%.

I have 35% in the front & 20% in the rear.
I'm changing the front to 20% this week... As soon as I can find some time to visit the Phil @grafikdezine

Peace,

Just a few questions in general on tinting:

Has the technology, material and application reached a point that the life / quality of tinting is a non-issue for the long term on a car window?

Why the darker 20% just in the front?

What is a reasonable price for a MCS from a true installer?

This is a mod that I want but don't know where to start.

Thanks,
Merry X-Mas Eve
