I have very light tint, 70 windshield and 50 else where. I personally dislike super dark tint for my car and hate it on other people's cars. The reason being I can't see their faces so I don't know if they see me.
Can you PLEASE post some pictures that is the exact tint setup so am thinking about doing. Never tinted any of my cars and just want a light tint and good heat and UV protection. Thank you!
Just picked mine up from getting a tinted. Went 50% windshield (game changer in the summer to keep interior cool, I do this on all my cars), 15% on the doors, and 5% around the back. I love how it looks!

TLDR: Apparently the OPs experiment with a Solarmeter 6.5 device (which measures UVA+UVB) revealed the following:
UV index with side windows down: 7.5
With side windows up: 0.4
Through the front windshield: 0.1
(UV Index of 0.1-0.5 is completely harmless)
I wasn't planning on tinting my 992 because I welcome/need the Vitamin D, but now I'm *definitely* not tinting it! (And the car looks a lot less gangbanger without tint IMO)
Thinking of doing 50% sides and back and 70% on windshield. I don’t typically like the dark look of tint and and thinking more for heat rejection and protecting interior from sun. Anyone have pics of what this looks like? Thanks!
I do not like the staggered tint look (different in front and bank) and of my 30+ vehicles over the years have always kept it the same. I always used to do 35% but then shops around me stopped carrying it and either do 20% or 40%. The latter is a bit too light for my liking so I end up doing 20% which is a bit more of a cop magnet as they are illegal here. But I haven't had any issues so far so I am keeping my fingers crossed. I just took delivery of my C4S today and will be getting it tinted likely next week or something. PS: My GTS at the back is 20% for comparison purposes.
