Default Tint Percentages

What percentages are available? I know different shops stock different shades but is there anything above 50%? This is not about legalites for me...

I dont know why you'd want to go ABOVE 50.

stock tint is 70%, which is the legal limit in many states.

Mine is tinted to 35%, which can be seen below:

70? that's insane. Indiana is no tint on windshield besides a 6 inch banner, 30+ on the front side windows, and then no regulations for anything BEHIND the driver's head (rear window, back side windows).

Your's looks a LOT darker than what you say...
maybe it's just the light.

I know. It may actually be 20%. I guessed 35% due to the fact that the tint was already installed on it when I bought it. I've never had it checked with a meter so I'm not sure!...haha
