Default Tinting windows ?

Looking to tint the windows on my Cayman but not that it looks silly. What is a classic look for a car ? Not too dark not too light either ? Any examples ? Tks

Can you tell this was tinted.... 80% tint blocking 99% UV & 52% heat letting 75% light in. It keeps the inside cool, o yes, I don't like dark tint. Cops hate it too if they have to pull you over at night

35% if you want to keep it legal and fairly dark.
20% looks awesome.

I also had my windshield done with 95% ceramic. It does a great job keeping the interior cool. Inception in Oakville did mine.

It was done by Audio Heaven in Richmond Hill, it was an 80% SunTek CXP carbon ceramic tint, spec below
AutoLinks in Scarborough also offers 80% with a bluish tone, I would have like that if my car wasn't over ten years old. The grey tone of the CXP fits the vintage better...

I hate it when I can't see who is driving.
People wave at me and I just have a dumb look on my face because I can't tell.
This is quite often with new cars and I think factory tint.
