Window tints
I tried searching but didn't find anything so thought I would post! What is the darkest tint % you have seen / would get done on the G80/82? I'm ordering an AW G80 and still undecided on how dark to go. Thanks in advance!

Tints? Seriously? Ugh.... it's window tint. Unless you plan on adding multiple layers, which would just be weird.

I have always done 35% on the sides and rear and have never put anything on the front because I didn't want it to affect night driving. 35% is just enough to be tasteful without being super dark and still easy to see out of day and night. I'm considering maybe doing 50% on the front this time around to help with glare during the day? Those of you that have done your front windows how is it, especially at night?

I Turo'd a Porsche in Arizona with 50% windshield and I hated how hard it was to see in residential neighborhoods at night. Attached is my AW F87 with 35% ceramic tint for reference. |

Agreed that 35% is much darker than 50%. Not sure I'd even be able to tell 50%.

I'm thinking of going for a very light tint mostly for heat and glare reduction. 50% in the back (baby in there), 70% in the front or maybe just 50/50. Also don't want a dark tint covering up my orange interior |

I'm finally picking up my car next week. I'm doing 20% on the back and sides and 80% on the windshield. I had 80% on the windshield in my old M4 and no problem at all.

35% ceramic here, but tint looks different based on the angle of the camera and lighting of course
