    15% is great because it appears pretty dark but visibility is still not a problem

      Maybe I'll go 15% all the way around then? Is 15% enough to block out the bad rays ?

        You could get 50% tint all around, which is nearly transparent, and it will STILL block out all harmful UV rays.

        The darker the tint, the more HEAT it blocks out. If you use 3M tint, ALL shades block out 99% of UV Rays.

        I did 35% all around, wish I woulda done 20% all around instead, but oh well. lol It will still save my interior!

          Erik, your car is dope bro! Check out mine at the top, do you think I should paint my chrome black? It's kind of hard to see, how did you get a large pic to paste onto the page? I am going to request that (tint and shadowline) in the photoshop section and check it out.

          Jonathan, I think you are right, the tint seems to contrast to much from the color of my car. What's "dephin" car?
          Thanks man!
          I think that a tint with shadowline will make your car look better. I don't think you should go too dark though. It wouldn't really look right with really dark windows on your car. I think 35% all the way around would be nice. Or, if you want it as dark as mine, do 20% in the rear, and 35% up front. No darker though.

          Ohh, and "delphin" is the color of my car.
