Windows Getting tinted...What Percent do you all think looks best?

So I have an appointment set for this Friday with a very reputable tint shop in my area. Just curious how you all feel about how dark you think the Camaro looks best with and any downfalls with the percent. Right now I'm thinking 28% (legal) all around and windshield stripe.

Georgia is 35% and dark enough for me. Still full visibility at night. Probably not much difference between mine and 28%

i used to think limo. And i still think it looks really good from the outside. But for visibility from the inside at night, it's really not that great. I think 15% is perfect.

I have:
15% on rear window / side rear quarter windows.
35% on front side windows

Dark enough, legal, and I can still see at night.

I originally had 20% all around. After driving many vehicles with tint considered illegal ive learned that very rarely, if ever will a cop pull you over for having too dark a tint, and I live in ohio, a place where dark tint isnt common like some southwestern states. the only time I was pulled over bc of tint was when I was in a shady neighborhood on accident after getting lost on the way to high school football game. once the cop approached my vehicle and realized I was neither selling nor buying drugs, he politely gave me directions and told me to be careful around these parts. so my moral of the story is go with whatever tint you like, bc if you go too light and decide to change, chances are that will cost you as much as a ticket for too dark a windows would be ha. sorry for the novel

Well we all have our tendencies to want to fool around with our cars....lol


This is reassuring to me, I'm still on the fence, and to be honest it might come down to price. We'll see, thank you all for your input.

NO way it will cost more than $150 for all windows. The Stingray dealership will do it for $169 and it's warrantied.
