Default Tint question 2006 997 Black with Brown interior?

Trying to decide if I should do 20% tint on the car or 35%. Thoughts? Anyone have pics of their car with either done?

This is tint allowing the MOST light in which I find gangster enough. My car however has a black interior. Nice thing about the lightest available, it is much more pleasant to drive at night.

If you do much night driving I'd suggest 35%.

Not too much night driving, but I want to get tint that will look classy on the car. I am not terribly concerned about privacy during day or night while driving the car.

Go lighter on the black car...
I like Overdraft's look. And those wheels too...

Yea I am thinking of leaning towards 35% my other is 35% as well. I just thought with lighter interior it may be better to go a little darker.

i love those wheels on your turbo. the blacked dual pipes look good - i don't usually like dual pipes on these turbo's.

Go with the 35%. Had mine done a few weeks ago, and finally had a chance to take it on an extended run. Almost wish I had gone darker, but the was afraid I'd get stopped by our CHP

The dual pipes was actually a compete aftermarket (cat back) exhaust - which sounded great - but quite frankly I got tired of it and took it off. In the end I thought the polished lip on the wheels looks much better with the polished OEM exhaust tips which are now back on the car - and I am happy.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I like my car
