What % tint
I have a Monaco Blue E90 and was wondering what % tint would look the best.
Would 50% be too light? What y'all think?

T...I have 35% front/rear windows and 20% on the rear backlight. The 20% at the back plus my black interior makes the windows look generally darker than they are So far so good ...

I'm not a morning person. I hate sitting in DC traffic in a virtual aquarium on wheels, tints are a must My other car is still FL registered, just so that I can keep the 20% tints on her. Also I'm too lazy to reregister (and pay property tax)

I had 35% on my White G35 coupe and it looked good. I just wasn't sure if 35% would look good on the dark blue.
KL2DC; can you post a pic of your car for me.

Thanks for sharing. I thought by now, you'd be tired of looking at the tail end of this car....

I have 35% tint all around and I think it is just borderline, almost too dark. But I'm not as much of a baller as the rest of you young whippersnappers.
If I could do it again, I'd still pick 35% over 50%... but I'd take 40% if FormulaONE offered it in their Pinnacle line. Thankfully, a light interior makes my tint look a little lighter. Dark interior makes 35% look very dark.
