I know that there's been several threads about tinting, including different brands, shade, etc... For this thread, I was wondering if anyone has done their tint and would be willing to post a couple of pictures that would illustrate what it looks like from a side or 3/4 view. I am undecided as to how dark I want my tint. I am primarily interested to see medium tints as dark tint is pretty straightforward. By medium, I am thinking somewhere between 30% - 50%. Along with that, just a quick one liner to identify film brand and % light transmission. Hopefully this will help all of those that have just recently or soon to receive their car. Thanks.

Deciding on tint is best done in person, with the same materials your tint shop would use. Each brand has multiple lines and each have different shades of color (green, charcoal, blue, black). I find 20-40% a good choice for a bit of privacy and also "look".
Careful not to post your illegal window tint job on here, or prepare for flame suit.. lol

30% all around (1 piece rear window), except windshield and glass roof
(this was an overcast day, so it appears darker.. but I personally dont think its very dark and I always tint my cars medium)

Beautiful! If you have a chance sometime, I would love to see the interior look through of the rear window tint. I am likely to do only the bottom half but I am a bit concerned about the "line" look from the interior.
Check out this thread from M3OC:

Looks nice! As you mention sometimes an overcast day makes it look darker than in normal instances. Do you have a picture ona sunny say showing the light transmission through the car windows?
Thanks
It’s really hard to tell from pictures at times since they look so different in different lighting Make sure u go drive around at night to see how they are looking out
Model 3 on left has 20% sides. Model S on right has 35% on sides. They both appear to be darker in the picture then what they really are.

Thank you to the amazing team at Auto Supershield in Boca Raton, Florida for hooking me up with Spectra Photosync 45% on all sides and 75% on windshield. Car already feels cooler and looks amazing. Not to dark but a classy dark window tint. Spectra Photosync rated as the best window tint for heat rejection and the clarity looking from the inside out is great, not hazy or distorted in any way.
