dark tint but only 20%

took a pic of the ride today and it was pretty gloomy, and i realized that the tint that i have which is 20 percent looks soooo dark if theres no sun shining on it, the black interior doesnt help either but here is the pic. oh just for reference, limo tint is 5% so 20 is supposed to be much lighter .

My tint came out really dark too. I think its the black exterior/interior.

I got 35% in front and it looks like 20.

Its not a huge difference. I probably would get 20 if I did it again.

The only options are 50, 35, 20 and 5 right?

That's correct. I have 50% on my car and it's dark enough for me.

Sort of a thread highjack, but have any of you seen a wagon with 5% on the three back windows (trunk area only) and 35 or 50% on the 4 cabin windows? I've done some searching and I can't find it.

I've got 27% (CO legal limit) all around and I think it looks perfect.

i had 5% rears and 35% fronts on one of my past cars, it looked pretty good cuz the interior was all black but id rather have all my windows be the same shade, iono, just looks cleaner to me.

Yeah, I know it looks better with all the same. I just thought since there's a body pillar between the 'trunk' windows and the 'cabin' windows on a wagon, it'd be better to have any mismatch across there. Like 5% in the trunk and 50% in the cabin...but I dont' think I've ever seen it.
