How much to tint the windows on the RL?

I have a black one and it just doesn't look right without window tint.

Anybody know a ballpark figure?

My buddy has 35% done on his car and it looks good, not too dark, you can still see in a lil, but you can tell they are tinted. Thats what I am prolly going to do in the spring.

I got 20% tint and my car is a black RL it looks very dark and it does a good job of blocking the sunlight + it looks cool! and the black RL definetely looks better with the windows tinted.

I was going to go with 15% but maybe that will have been too dark and may risk getting a ticket but the 20% I got is plenty dark and you could still see the interior from outside the car.

I don't know about the night visibility in the 2 1/2% tint, that pretty dark! the only car I think I have ever ride with that dark of tint is a limo! but I think he said he has 35% on the windshield so he could probably see fine from windshield.

Mine is 20% all over except windshield that has factory and it you can see fine at night. previous car had 15% all over except windshield and you could still see at night but it had light interior and I believe if it would have dark interior it could have been hard to see at night.

I got my windows tinted at about 25%, i can see out them fine during the day and at night. it does a good job of keeping out the light a while still allowing clear visibilty. It also makes the car look a lot more aggressive. I payed about $110, but thats for lifetime replace placement so if it ever tears or peels im set. when i get a chance ill put some pics up.

I have Major probs backing up at night, but normal day driving I am fine. The tint helps out alot in hot weather, it keeps your car nice and cool. But in the cool climate it takes a wile to warm up.
