Default Who has their Silverstone tinted and how dark?

Going to get mine done in a few days and wanted to see some pics of it. I can also get Lumar or 3m. What is better? Thanks a lot!

Silverstone here. 5% on the small side windows and the rear, 20% on the front windows. Looks good to me. I will be going 5% all around soon though (As soon as I get AZ plates)

Most people I know went 30% all around. I personally only did 50%. Not really into the dark look.

I believe this is 15%, its been a while since i had them tinted. But its easy to see out of at night witch i like but i wish they were a little darker sometimes during the day. With black interior its not that bad but you can still see through the windows a little bit.

I didn't want mine too dark so I got 50% on the driver/passenger windows & 35% in the rear including the small side windows. I forgot the brand but I got the one with the titanium/gunmetal look to match the color of the car so it's slightly reflective but not too bad. I think it gives it a nice classy look. If I would've gotten a non-reflective tint, I could've gotten something a bit darker. Click on sig link for more pics.

15% on the driver and passenger window, and 5% on the small side windows and rear. it seemed pretty dark at first, but you get used to it. and it certainly helps to keep the interior cooler in the florida heat.

I had 5% on my last car, its pretty damn dark. Tough to see at night, but you do get used to it fairly easy

Back to Cali late this year. I am just going to register in AZ to avoid all that CARB and Window tint garbage.
