Pics of your tint
I'm trying to get a visual on the different levels of darkness for tint, so if anyone has some pics of their cars with tint and the % darkness, that would be great.
....especially if you have a black Stang.

I do not know the darkness of my tint. I am ashamed of myself. And I have a black stang too.

5% on all of our vehicles, 15-20% is a good alternative and probably the most common down here.
hmm...it wont' let me get to my other account or I was going to post a pic of my old 89 coupe with 35% and my old truck with 15% on the front windows to give an idea of the darkness.

Yeah, that 20% is lookin' nice and clean. I was kind of debating between 20% and 35%, but based on those pics, I'm thinking 20%. The 5% on NotQuik's car looks totally sinister, but might be a bit too dark up north here.
Thanks for all the pics....definitely helps.

Those are the SHR louvers, so it's one piece of clear plastic that's painted on the outside, you can't really tint the inside louvers.
Here's mine, the guy said it was actually somewhere between 23 and 28, but I think it's closer to 30%. Wish I'd gone darker actually.

No, I didn't tint them. It could be done, just would need to cut the tint, but I felt it wasn't necessary because if you darken the other windows, less light will be inside and give them the appearance of being tinted. Seems to work.

with 3m tint not all of them have the 3m marking on it if you look closely at the tine. the tint that doesnt have that is a cheaper tint and will scratch easier. the tint with the 3m stamping on it if you look closely is a thicker better quality tint. just my 2 cents.
