Calling All Mineral Grey Owners!

I want to get my windows tinted and would like to see a picture of your's and know what the % is.

I'm thinking 70 in the rear and quarter and 50 on the side window although that is illegal in California.

Thanks-

Here are a couple of mine. I went with 20% (what the tint shop refered to as "dark") all around ... haven't had any issues with local pd .. (I hope that continues)

Here are pics of mine. The tint was the first mod I did, I can't stand driving around in a car without tint, too bright and hot.

15%, all the way around including a little strip at the top of the windshield. I was afraid it would be to dark, but it's just right. I can still see out of it fine at night, and you can see in the car on bright days.

I have had cars tinted legally before, around 35%, and I thought it was pretty pathetic. I could barelly tell it was tinted at all, a waste of money IMHO.

I've had 20% before, and liked it as well.

I've got limo tint, around 7% on the Lightning. Too dark, very hard to see out of at night, I wouldn't recommend it.

15-20% works pretty good for me, just dark enough, but not too dark to gain attention or make you have to roll down the windows at a dark turn at night.

Here's a few pics, some on cloudy days, some on sunny days to get an idea of how much you can still see in the car.

I don't have any pictures I can post at the moment, but I had mine tinted with 15% on the back window and the quarter windows, and 30% on the front windows. I really like this combination. Since the front windows are lighter than the back, it is less obvious that they are tinted. The back is pretty dark looking from the outside, but still easy to see through from inside. The only time it can be hard to see through is at night when there is zero light around, but that probably wouldn't be much better without the tint. The 30% on the fronts blocks a lot of light but is still easy to see through. The tint really makes the car look a lot nicer from the outside too I think. With the Mineral Grey it just looks right with the dark windows. Now when I see other Mineral Grey cars without tint they just look weird.

Here's mine. Tint on the sides is 35% in accordance with Arid-zona law. Tint in the back is DARK...
