Default please post pics of your tinted windows

All,
I'm getting my Arctic Silver (Black interior) C4S tinted next week at Premier Mobile (based on all the great recommendations here) and I'm trying to decide between 20% and 35% on all 5 windows. I don't want it to look "gangsta", but I also don't want it to be too light. I had 35% on my M3 (Silver with Tan interior) and that was a little too light for me, but the interior was lighter than my C4S also.

Any pictures (preferably the same color combination as mine) and tint percentages would be much appreciated. For the record, I understand the tinting laws in my state (California) and I'm not concerned about that ;-)

Thanks in advance for any help... josh

not sure how a sports car that's probably pretty stock can look gangster from a tint job no matter how dark, but anyways, anything at 20 or above should be just fine. i think you'll be happy with 20% reglardess of the interior color. it'll protect the interior better anyways

i'd tint my car if it didn't have the color backed sport seats at 20%
