I definitely prefer the charcoal tint. I have 35% and I love it.

Yeah you can. My friend's CR-V has 5% out back and you can't see anything at night.

Check out the 3M nano-technology Crystalline film. The darkest is 40% transmission however. This the top of the line tint film. Costs about approx 50% than their cheapest line. Supposed won't turn purple after a few years.

Check out the specs:

Dont go different shades,. It's worst than having tint at the rear and not at the front. Been there ... Done that ... Came back a week later and ask the guy to redo the front. It just doesn't look right in the pictures ...

There is one thing I haven't seen on this thread, please check your local regulations for what is the maximum allowable tints in your area. Anyways, to answer the question! I wouldn't go darker than 30% tints, especially with a green car, good luck

For some reason a lot of people don't seem to care. I went with the legal minimum in my state, which is 35%. I'd be able to pass the annual safety inspection and probably get out of tickets if I had illegal tint, but why bother? I'd rather just be legal.. The less attention drawn to my car the better

I was thinking about getting a tint as well. Does any one have a picture that they could up load of their tint? Preferably 35%, or 40%
