I just got my sedan tinted. Went with 3M Color Stable film with 20% rears and 35% fronts. Looks great. Will get pics up after letting the tint dry and getting her washed.
Too dark, looks good but too dark, I prefer safety over "cool" factor. Anyone with 20% or darker that says it doesn't affect nighttime driving isn't really being honest. Not to mention a sporty car with obviously darker than legal tint is just begging for a ticket and having to get it removed, reinspected. Again, not worth the "cool" factor IMHO.
Respectfully disagree about the "begging for a ticket" comment. I've lived in various places in the northeast, including NYC & now right outside of DC, and not once got pulled over for a tint citation (only got pulled over twice ever, and neither times was the tint acknowledged).
My opinion is that if you drive in a way that attracts negative attention (mainly by aggressive driving or flashy/noisy mods), then you run the risk of being noticed and subsequently scrutinized by law enforcement. Keeping a lowkey appearance and driving style dramatically reduces the odds of "getting caught" for window tint violation, among other things
All my opinion of course, based on experience, and agree on the night visibility thing
