Camaro Window Tint

I was wondering what 3M Ceramic at 35% might look like. Anyone with 35% tint windows out there. Just wondering as I take my car in for tint.

Thank you for any help.

Go darker, I've got 20% all the way around and love it. Still fine to see at night.

Yea I have the 3M tints at 20% all around and I see just fine, I did only the window strip in the front. I know the legal is 35% but it is not worth it at all.

20% looks better. Check on local tint % laws, to avoid unnecessary tickets. 35% looks like 30% when considering in the factory tint%.

I have 35%. Imho, it looks great on my black car. More importantly, it blocks most of that bad ass Texas summer sun, lol I had 20% (sides) and 5% (rear) on my black 99Z, and while it looked cool as hell, ultimately it was too dark, and hard to see out of at night.

Thanks,

Here its 35% as stated I think with the OEM tint and 3M Ceramic at 35% it will be at 30% in the end. I could use color stable although it has no real redeeming value. Was thinking Crystalline 3M tint was told it is even lighter than ceramic.

35% would like it a little darker. But stayed within the law.

This is 3M Ceramic at 35% on the driver/passenger windows; darker on the others. A few angles for you.

Just to give an idea..... I know you said 35%...

4% on sides and rear. ...It's dark, but I enjoy my privacy more than having someone stare at me.
