I got 35% film all around here on my AW F31. That combined with the minimal factory in glass tint, it ends up being about 32%. Nothing on the windscreen.

Legal limit in AU is 35% and nothing on the windscreen, but I know people who have 25% or so around the windows (excl winscreen) with no issues.

Not sure what the go is where you are.

Urgent help? Sounded like your car was on fire. How about get what percentage you want, and what is legal in your state?!

Why does everyone need approval to do something here? Not sure, go to the tint shop, and have them put up samples in the sunlight. That's the only way you will know what works for you for sure.

And I have had 70% tints here be pictured to look like 35%, so don't base your experience on the pictures here.

Real life only works

Depends what you like. If you like a darker look, then go with 20%. If you have a hard time seeing with dark tint at night, then go lighter.
