Noted....thanks guys. Will try lighter first 15- 20 and see how that turns out. I hope the blue interior still shows through because the car looks a little drab when too dark. I completely agree over 30 is a non starter.

Tint is measured in how much light can get through. SSpade recommendation of 35% is lighter tint then 15-20%. Personally I think darker looks way better but at night may bother you when driving. 35% is the safe play for 1st tint. You could go 15-20% in the back and then 35% on front.
