I'm trying to decide if I should tint my windows on my IOMG. If you have pictures I would love to see them! Please also put the percentage as well. Thanks

Lighter tint than the others. This is "35%" Spectra Photosync Ceramic. It darks further in direct sunlight and does a GREAT job of keeping heat out. It was a bit more expensive than most tints, but it isn't messing up the dimming mirrors at night as much as some other tints I've had in the past (or the dimming function has gotten better...I dunno).

This shot is as light as it gets due to the utter lack of direct sunlight.
