20% for sure with a light interior and put a strip on the windshield to help darken up the interior. I dealt with the same dilemma 10 years ago with a Diamante.

+1 for 20% all around. Just got it done for my second G, Huper Optik ceramic film. Previous 2009 G had 20% as well. I had charcoal interior on both. I agree, with lighter interior I might go even darker.

I used to have 35% all around on one of my older cars, and I regretted not going darker.

As others said, dont go for cheap film, any savings will be marginal compared to how much you are going to hate it every day.

Got a quote for $200, sides and rear, 25% using 3M "FX premium" tint.

My area doesn't have too many reputable tint installers, so this one seems pretty pricey due to its reputation.

Like you said, a few extra bucks up front makes a big difference in the long run. Might shop around a little more though, thanks for the advice

Get 20%. If you can something in between like a 25% or 30%, that sounds like a good compromise. Just be ready to be hassled by the cops depending on what state you're in.

This is 50% 3m Ceramic. I wanted good heat protection, but I wanted to be able to see easily at night. This works perfectly. The Ceramic has great heat protection which we need here in the Southwest.

Some prefer darker, and I may have still been able to see at night with 35% Ceramic. Its hard to say.

I was in a friends car last week and he had a dark tint. He couldn't see at night and parking was a PITA. I was really liking my choice then, even though the lighter tint doesn't look as cool.

I have wheat interior and %20.
It's light enough to still look classy but not too light to make you want darker.
I was really on the fence about it too until I saw. %35 on a lighter interior car while I was at the shop.

5% all around and 20% entire windshield, no problem at all seeing at night.

is that even legal to tint the front??? I have 5% all around on my car but for some reason the bubbles started to show up so I order the 2% can't wait to have them install.

Not legal anywhere but I haven't been pulled over in any of my cars/trucks yet (all with same setup). I had an sti with double 5% all around and 5% windshield as well, no problems.

Well my friend you are my hero lol, I wonder if I will get pull over when I put 2% on.
