cmon son..35% on these big *** windows is like 50%..you will like the darker tint for sure! i did 25% at first, regretted it..but my tinter re-did them for free at 15% all around for me

with my blk on blk LS im going to do 15% all around most likely. correct me if im wrong but don't the windows come already pre-treated with something that gives it a really mild tint and i believe it protects against U.V's. although im not sure what im going to do in the front (strip or lightly tint the whole windshield)...but ya thats my input.

there is about a 94% tint from factory, at least mine was..in other words, only 6% of light is blocked. My 15% tint actually reads 9% on the tint meter..so keep that in mind when you decide. For black interior, i would really stick at 20%, which would put you at about 14% on the meter.

With Black/Black, I have 35% (Ohio legal) all the way around and rely on the retractable shades in the back seat and rear window to make the dog less obvious when she's parked. Do wish, however that the side curtains could be raised with the rear windows partially open.
