Tint Window for a White FRS

I'm debating on getting tint on my white frs, but I like to see if anyone is willing to post some pictures of this car with tints on them to see how they look. Much appreciated!

No, sir. I have 35 on the front sides, and then 20 in the rear and small side windows.

Tint always makes a car look better. There's no exception.

35% all around? I feel 30% would be too dark at night and pretty obvious to get pulled over for a window tint.
