Finally got my tints yesterday...
Pretty excited as I've never had tints put on any of my previous vehicles. 35% in the front, 20% in the rear and 20% on the sunroof.
Last pic is through the sun roof. Sorry for the poor quality of the rear shot.

I just got my car tinted also this past weekend and I also got the same percentages (23% rear, 35% front). My tint looks totally different from this car.

Yeah, I'm sure they're tinted... The pics look deceiving. There were several pics that I took, depending on the lighting and angle where the fronts looked nearly as dark as the rear.

I know everyone has their own way of seeing things, but I really think the tint above looks really OFF. Perhaps CA's law prohibits dark tint in the front windows, but I would never drive any "half-tinted" vehicle around like that. It looks like somebody didn't have enough money to tint all the windows at once, so they had half of them tinted first. I would rather have all the window tinted (even just light tint) all the same.

lol.. Again, all the windows except the windshield ARE tinted. The contrast in real life is no where near as drastic as the pics make them look... I just posted another pic above, as you can see, big difference from the original pictures, but the same exact tint setup.
Here's a nother shot...

Braddah, I think the inside-out shot is the most accurate one since there was no light to interfere with it. And sorry to say that your front window looks un-tinted in that one. But, the bottom line is that if you like and satisfy with it, you don't have to post no more pictures to show that they ARE tinted.

Welcome to Cali boys and girls..... Having dark tint on your front windows will get to pulled over sooner or later out here.
I went with the lightest tint just to cut the glare on the fronts, but keep a low profile from "the man". The rest is limo.

When I picked up the car, I also thought the rear was darker than 20% so I asked them about it. They said that there would be some discoloration for the first few days as the liquid between the film and glass dries out, then it would start to lighten up. So i'll see how it looks in another day or two.
