Default Need help with tint decisions

I just made an appointment to get my windows tinted on my new wheels. I dont want to do it myself ever again lol, and only $80 from a local. Anyways, I dont know what to get, the car is a 99 accord 4dr and it is dark blue. I dont feel like this car, being blue, will look good with super dark, like anything around 20% or below because then it will just look like a bruise. I was thinking of getting just 35% or maybe even a silver tint. Does anyone have any pix of dark blue car with tint? Or any pics that might help me decided. Please post and let me know what is on it.

TIA

35% Grey would look great, it goes with everything. Takes the glare out , saves your interior & ya won't look like a stunna.

Getting windows tinted too dark is just a reason for cops to pull you over.

What color is your interioir? If it is black then 35% will look pretty dark. I'm probably going to do mine in 40 or 50 % all the way around including windshield (NJ sucks, only back 3 are legal) since I have black leather. Having the windshield done helps it to be less noticeable because there is no contrast in the windows and it just looks like it is dark inside the car. Make sure you get a quality tint film too (madico, llumar, global, 3m). I work for a tinting company, if you want to drive to central NJ we can do your car. http://www.wedotint.com
