drive it a bunch at night. If it becomes irritating/annoying to you at night because you can't see shit, then yeah, probably too dark. If you can see and it doesn't bother you, then you're probably fine. I love the look of dark tint from the outside and think it looks good from this picture. Johnny Law may have something to say about it though 🤷🏽‍♂️

Tint is fine.

Replace the bumper reflectors with color keyed ones.

Paint the rear wing and your side door replacements.

I tinted mine and even though its not that dark (darkest legal tint here) it's dark af at night. Looks great from the outside but its so dark that I decided to code a reduction of the auto dimming rear view mirror.. and completely turned the auto dimming of the side mirror off.

I did double 20% so idk how that math works out for the actual percentage but mine is dark af too but it doesn’t bother me that much. Took a couple nights to get used to but now I’m fine with it. Looks great from the outside

It is very dark imo. Maybe remove the windshield banner?

I opted for 35% on the sides and rear ... and 50% on the full front windshield.

I like to be able to see out of my car but also have some privacy.

I let the tiny shop talk me into 20% and somehow “eyebrow” turned into the whole windshield. From the outside it looks great but driving at night is pretty rough. I think it looks great on the red but you’ll have to decide if you can live with it or not.

I have mine at the shop right now and am doing 20% all around, but nothing on the front. Seemed like a nice middle ground.

The tint looks good. I agree, you'll need to decide if it's too dark at night.

The color of the tint is a bit darker than the door enhancements and wing, but not offensive imo. I agree with @MisterSkiz on the reflector though - color keyed would be way better. And as nice as the wheels are, the silver throws off the look to me. All black/carbon grey would look dreamy.

I did 50% on the front, 20% on sides and rear. I rarely drive mine at night though because of all the deer where I live. Got a ticket for my tint tacked on to a speeding ticket, but just by showing up in court they dropped the tint charge and dropped the speed down to a 0-point charge.

I went 35% and find it perfect. 20% to me is just way too dark. Can't even imagine adding something to the front window....
