Default Window Tint

I'm contemplating tinting my windows on my 2002 sebring silver. What are some of your opinions on type of tint and % to use. I'm in Louisiana & 30% on the sides is legal. I tried a search and some recommend titanium tint, but I couldnt find any pictures. Please post any if you can.

I dont mind going to say 15% on the sides, because I only drive the car on weekends & am willing to take the chance. I'm leaning towards the titanium, but would like to see some pics.

Thanks!

The tint is made by Johnson. It's at 30% front windshield banner whatever, sides, and rear. The material does have the Ti stuff in it and the installers tell me it's a flatter, truer black than what you'd get with the traditional 35% smoked charcoal ones and that's what sold me.

It's definitely darker than the 35% and because of the metallic stuff in the material itself, it took a long time for the bubbles to completely "air" out (close to 3 months over fall/winter weather).

It looks darker in the pics because of the low lighting. In person, it's a pretty good compromise between too dark and standard. Would I go 30 percent again? Absolutely. I like the privacy when it calls for it and it makes the top half of the car look a bit sleeker (lower, smaller).

And unless you're a part of the mafia and rollin' around in a black Lincoln Town Car or big-bodied Benz, anything darker than 30% looks out of whack yo.

Good luck,

Silver with tinted windows looks great, I'd go the 30% legal.
