I’ve noticed if you look on the bmw, Audi etc, more luxury cars forums, they tend to like the lighter tint shades, 40 and up a lot more than others.

They’re driven by old people like me with poor night vision. Go to llumars film viewer on their website. Pick what you want for an outward appearance. Global has the same thing kinda. Use that to pick what you want and have a shop try to recreate it within reason.

What percent you guys think this tint is?

30/35 sides on black interior.

Yea, its at least 35 and pretty clear in person, looks slightly darker in pic. I was wondering if it was 35 or 40. There is no way that’s 50 percent tint right?

Here’s close up pic of the rear window 

 

wonder what kind of tint it is too

I think that’s 35-40 everywhere. Not a fan back. Most trucks and suvs are equivalent to 15-20. I prefer the glare reduction of a darker film at least on my back window. Can also promote an even look, especially a car with light interior. The newer cars headlights are blinding and then there’s the light bar craze on trucks. If it was legal my vote would be 30/15/05 front sides rear. If you can do the back a shade darker I’d definitely recommend it.

Always keep in mind, glass has a variable of 2-3%, film has a variable of 3% +/- and meters have a variable of 2% +/- (battery charge impacts accuracy here)
