30% all around. Or at least I think it is. I just told him whatever is the darkest legal on the front windows, match it on the rear. I'm not a big fan of the darker shade in the back solely because I can't see out of it at night.

It's LLumar Stealth. It has a slight reflective shine from certain angles, but its not too strong to the point where it looks chrome all the time.

i don't like having two different shades. but the shop have always suggested using a darker shade for the back windshield since so much light comes in from it.

5% limo tint all except front (which has a band across the top). It's a bit dark for me and I might remove it and put a lighter version on especially with winter approaching (car came with tint). I have had super dark tint on a few cars before (3). I never was hasled but then again, I always put both driver and passenger windows down completely when I would get pulled over.

I might go with something like: "50% Huper Optik Ceramic Tint all around". I like a little extra reflection but not a mirror tint.

silver silver silver tints!!!

i have them on my S55, but i have to say, sometimes the reflection makes it hard to see outside the car.. i'm getting them put on my seal grey 4s as soon as the techart bumper/skirts and gt2 wing gets installed
