15% TINT vs 20% TINT
Can anyone provide me with day pictures of these 2 tints. I was originally was going to get 20% 3m tint but seeing that its a bit light for my taste I might just go with the 15% 3ms

you won't see a difference in pictures
if you want dark, you'll have to do 2 layers of 5%
do double layer 5% all around, and you can drive naked if you want.
but you won't be able to see out of the car at night.

2 layers of tint is crazy, with my one layer, the dealership actually told me my tint was too thick and it's actually interfering with the "auto stop" safety sensors on our windows

not really, depends on the area. if theres no lights around it gets a tad hard to see.
