Hey lads, I booked the lowback in for tint next week.
My mate that runs the shop said that I may not like 15% and that I should get 20%
Do you have 15% tint and wish you went lighter?
Cheers guys!

yep i've done that twice and regretted it.
Even at 20% i have some problems reversing when there's low light but i think that might be my eyes going lol
edit: actually the last one i regretted was 5% and was s**t

20% is bang for buck.
Still defectable though, I've been done with it.

I always recommend 20% to my clients. Not too light, not too dark. Just right.

Im not a fan of the darker tints, eg. 5%, kind of looks a bit cheap to me. Holden commodorish! I have the Japanese privacy glass and it works really well

I've gone 15%. Wouldn't go any darker because it's impossible to see out of at night time.
Ugh i could ramble on for forking days about this stuff.

He has also gone for 5% the size of a standard car, but don't let that put you off.

I have 15% and I honestly wish i had of gone a little darker. The boot and back seat windows are really dark but the front windows are still light enough to see through which I find annoying.
