Default Window tinting

I'm getting my windows tinted Thursday after work. Anyone have 38% on your car? I usually get 28% (30% is legal) but I think that will just be too dark for a white car. I don't want a big contrast between the windows and the paint so I am thinking of going to 38%. It would still be tinted but I would think you'll be able to clearly see through it and into the interior.

Any thoughts? Anyone have Polar White with tinted windows?

I'm not familiar percentages you are talking about.
I just had 35%done on the sides and you can see in. The next ligter shade would be 50% and in my opinion it's not worth doing. I would go with the 35% which sounds like your version of 38%

All depends on the color of your car.

Very nice! That's the look I'm going for. Tinted but not too dark.

Yes, I would go back and have them re-tint it. You want the car to look nice and you want to be happy with it.

Go back and complain.
