2013 G37x best looking tint?

So I just bought a certified 2013 Liquid platinum G37x from Ray Catena Infiniti in NJ. My old car was a 2002 i35 which I put 20% tint all around. Trying to decided if I should do the same to this car or go with 35% all around instead? If any one has pictures id appreciate it. Thanks.

I think 35% all around is a good look. That's what I have on mine. Not too dark and not too light.

I will say, if you have light interior, I would almost go to 25% all around. I have 30% and i wish it was a tad bit darker. That pic above is clearly on a cloudy day, which will make any tint apear much darker then it really is on a nice day.

Also remember there is ~95% tint on the car, so whatever you get, take 5% more off and that is your true tint %.

I have 20 all the way around with a 5% tint strip on the windshield. Best look IMO.

That's true. Black interior will make your tints look darker. If you have a light interior you might want to go darker (also to hide it since it's so ugly lol)

Maximum legal limit, especially on the front windows. Unless it's worth the headache for you or you feel invincible. It's a great reason for cops to pull you over at their will.

3M Colorstable - 35% front, 20% rear

I think the Formula one ceramic tint looks good because it's a pure charcoal gray color without any bluish tint of some of the other tints. I went with 35% up front and 20% in the rear and have been very happy with it.

you're right... 35% front, 20% rear is the best bet. I have no desire to converse with the boys in blue unnecessarily!

35% all around sounds like a safe bet for dark exterior/interior
