Here is mine, honestly do not know how much% it is, I know I just picked it from the wall o samples at the tint place. They did the front clear "bra" too, to the top edge of the scoop.

This thread was very helpful when making my decision on tint. It would have been nice if the brand and line of tint was posted along with the pics instead of just the %. Percentages can vary from brand to brand and even from line to line within a single brand. But I guess not everyone will know the brand and line or care to know.
Anyways, I ended up going with Johnson Greystone 10. 10% all around with a windshield strip. IMHO, anything lighter than 20%, maybe even 15% is worthless. |

Ah yup, sure is! I had a metallic Johnson film installed on my previous car and that held up flawlessly the entire time I owned it, which was 6.5 years. I'm sure it's still looking dead sexy! |

Thanks everyone for the pics- this is really helping! I have an '09 sedan lightning red- I'm thinking i'm going to do 35% all around. I don't want to attract too much attention by going any lower (I personally like to have all of the windows the same level and in Ohio the lowest you can do the fronts are 50%) My other car had 3M and I really liked it but my installer is no longer doing automotive is llumar good quality- if so what line would you all recommend? Also- is there a better season to do it in- is it better to do it in colder or warmer temps?

It doesn't really matter what season you get your windows tinted in. But the film will settle faster and any water under the film will evaporate quicker when it's warmer out. |

I believe it varies by county in Ohio as to what the inspection entails I live in Franklin county (in Columbus) and to get the car registered there was no smog or tint inspection. I have some friends who live in Cleveland (Cuyahoga county) and they just have to do a smog inspection and they haven't had any problems with tint- thats not saying that isn't required to do a test on the tint, just that they haven't had any problems (the friend I'm thinking about has a BMW with tint but I'm not sure what %).
