4th Generation Tinting Decision on my Gen 4

so now that i'm keeping my car and no longer trading or selling it. I might as well try to make it look better for a young adult to drive. My current color of my car is Blue/Gray. It's not to dark and its not to light of blue it sits right in the middle. I'll be taking pictures of it soon but for those who already knows the colour can tell me what I should get . I'm currently looking forward to getting 20% tinting all around the car. Do you think it would look decent? or would it just make my windows look so dark that it doesnt look good with the colour of my car.

Anyways thanks for help and giving advices!

Its will look good because the door pilars are black and will match nicely with the chrome. I have 25% on my Camry (biege color). Also have you ever thought of getting blue tint?

go for the darkest legal tint .... tint looks good on any car, dont worry about color combos or anything unless you wanted color tint [which is dumb]

I got 15% since 20 didn't even look dark enough. The darker the tint the better it looks. Don't go below 15 though or it get hard to see.

20% is hard to see at night and it could be a safety issue for some. 35% tints is perfect for me now it matches with the car better (my car looks very very dark green almost looks black) and I can see at night.

So I guess go with 25%-35% then.

Wait a minute do you know what's the tint law where you live at? I just checked online and it seems it's 35% is the darkest you can go.

well 35% is the legal limit but i have seen cars with under 20% and cops pass them with no problem. BUT i am a person who will follow the law and may just get 35% all around. Too bad they dont do the front. It would be nice.. Just a very little bit darker.

I got 35 front/ 20 back combo and personally if i did it again i would prob do 30/15 or 30/10 even. Btw I have had no prob with the cops even when pulled over although i did roll down the windows once he caught me.
