Default Pic request.. tint

My work is tinting my new car for free for me.. they told me it will be 32% which I know it isn't super dark but.. can anyone show me what that will look like? It's hard to find pics or get a good idea online, but I just thought I'd try! Thanks.

Appearance/Cosmetic?

Just cause you're hot, no special treatment.

edit:Anyways, hit the my setup link in my sig.

Passenger windows is legal limit (30% I think). Back corners is just passed legal limit.

2nd edit: I meant front windshield not passenger side is 30%ish.

I don't have pics myself, but anything and everything you could ever possibly want to know about tint is on this site. The link below is directly to the pictures section. 32% is pretty light, BTW...

32% is horrible, you can see through it at night form like 40 feet away, got for 20% if you can and you can only see through it at night when you cup your hands around your eyes, well thats how mine is anyway

Yeah, I'd go darker. If you're only going 32% there's not much point. I have 18% and still think it's a bit light.

If you still needed it....this was 30%. Pretty close to 32%, differences would be negligible.

Don't flame the bumper. 1) I don't have the car anymore 2) It was free from insurance 3) There is an intercooler and turbo in there that'll beat all j00 f00's!





Note: When I first had it done many years ago, I even had the front windows done. This way, it made the entire tint job look much darker. After failing several inspections and getting tint tickets, I eventually took the front tints off. It made everything a lot lighter. You can easily see inside from all the windows now. Before I removed it, it was slightly difficult to see inside. You could make out a person inside, but not necessarily WHO was inside unless you took a good long look.
