Default Window Tinting

I'm going to be tinting my windows on my Jeep on Monday, and I'm not quite sure how dark to tint them. Any suggestions, and pictures to go along with it would be great. Thanks.

If you wheel and back up a lot and go night wheeling, get extra back up lights or light tint! Imo

Are you paying to have it done, or are you wrinkling and bubbling some cheap tint on to the glass yourself?

If you are just tinting the front two to match the rest use 20%, as that is close to factory as you will get. If you are tinting all of them use 20-35%. any darker than 20% and you will hate it at night, and it's possibly dangerous.

Cool

35% is as dark as your going to want to go if you want to be able to drive at night without rolling down windows. and 35% is the legal limit in tennessee where i live, so that is as dark as i would even consider going.

when i get mine done im gonna do 40%, because it looks nice and keeps the sun out and people from looking in, and you can drive at night without worries

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the input. I think that I'm going to go 15% all the way around.
