Default pictures of different tints please

Guys, I'm going to go get my windows tinted tomororw, and for the life of me, i can't find pictures of already tinted tC without having to go through every post. and yes, i did a search already. this is not going to be another "what shade tint looks best on the tC". thats a matter of personal opinion. however, i'd like people that have tinted to put up pictures of it, along with have % you had applied.

if this goes well, we could sticky this and that'll be the end of the tinting nightmare question.

also, i am thinking of doing 70% tint, since the tC already comes with 74%, and adding a 70% on that will give me around 50%. yea yea.. i know that nothing compared to teh 20% and 5% people recommend, but cops around here stop people like nuttin for too dark shades.

thanks all.

Get 20% dude. If its too light then there is no point, your car will heat up from the sun just the same. I went with 20% figuring if im gonna get a ticket anyway, might as well have nice tint.

i used the stock tint from all around the xb; which is 35%.. front windows and back, no problem with cops. as well as anything darker IMHO is too dark to navigate at night with.. i went for functionality and form

if you get slightly lower tint in the front windows, you will be less likely to be bugged by cops..

I got 20 percent back three, 30 percent front two .

this is charcoal titanium which is my choice on all my cars: mr2, integra, and tc.
only draw back is if you have navigation because it tends to block reception because of the metals in the tint.

That charcoal titanium looks really good. Wish I'd known about that when I got my SSM tinted. Then again I can get it redone for free if I want. Hmmmm...

BTW Shoe_Here your car looks just straight up hot. Those rims look really good on your car and the black tint just makes it happen.

With 5% tint sometimes the light coming from the moonroof actually helps me see.
