Tinting Raven FRS

I was thinking about tinting my Raven FRS, and Im not sure exactly what percentage I want. I was thinking maybe 30-35% which is the most I can do, since I live in California but will go darker if it looks good enough. If you guys can post some pictures of your tint and how you feel about it, that would be appreciated. Thanks

I've got 35% all around on my Asphalt one, I didn't want it too dark, just a bit to take the edge off the sun and interior heat. Here's the only decent picture I have after tint, it's a bit tough to tell since it is at night but it looks similar in the day.

Do u mean it the other way around? Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the higher the % is the darker it gets?

no the number is the amount of light it lets in, so 35% is lighter than 15%
