What % tint on a black car?

Getting my windows tinted Saturday. I'm still not totally sure on what % tint. My sig says 20, but as of now I'm going to do 15. Don't worry about laws, I know of two inspection places who don't worry about your tint.

So let's see some pics of your black F-body with 10-25% tint!

I would go with 10 or 15%. 5% is really hard to see out of at night.

Sure is. That's why I'm leaning towards 15%. 10 might even be a bit dark don't you think?

I like 20%. Dark enough that you can't see in very well but light enough that it isn't so dangerous at night!

I've got a 5% tint strip on the front window and 5% on the rear hatch, had 5% on the side windows (to dark at night)

I now have 20% on the sides.. still kinda dark at night ...
