Tints with tan interior??

I have 20% llumar right now on my eternal blue civic, but the tan interior makes it look like its not that dark. Will 15% all around do that much improvement? Another option is 5% rear 3 windows and 15% front but i live in an area with dark unlite roads. What would you recommend? Anyone got any pics of 15% all around, i already searched.

during the day its still going to look lighter than cars with black interior, is your tint any darker at night? I have 30% on my ebp and during the day its nothing special, but at night its pretty dark from the outside.

this is just another thing people with friggin beige interior have to deal with, I f*ckin hate beige!

you want to be invisible?... i use Llumar Platinum tint, with 5% all the way around and 35% down the windshield... i have a black interior, so you can't even see the steering wheel, much less the occupants of the vehicle...

yes, it's illegal; no, it doesn't hinder my driving, blah blah blah... if you have some weak *** comment to make about that aspect, just keep it to yourself, i'm not retarded... you drive your car, and i'll drive mine...

this pic kinda sucks, so i'll get another one up that shows the tint a little better as soon as i find one...

personally i love the stealth look -

friend of mine has this on his RSX type S 20% on front, 20% over 20% on all passenger windows, 5% over 5% on rear windhsield.

It goes from daylight to the dead of night inside the car in the time it takes to roll up the windows.

He never has any problems seeing in it - and even i could see (kinda, i'm not used to tints and can barely see at night anyway)

no, its not legal but it looks damn good!

Here the police sucks, if you have 35% they could stop you if you have a black interior, limit is 35%

How come nobody likes the tan/brown interior? It looks so much richer than the flat grey. Is the Grey or black more JDM and thats why everyone likes it? I would take my Tan over dark grey or black anyday, but thats just me i guess.

I like the tan and all, but I dislike the brown. I'm leaving my tan and painting the brown sections (more or less). I just dislike the tan b/c it lets more light through so my tint looks lighter than it is

i got 10% on the sides and 30% in the rear window (I like to recognize Crown vic headlights at night!) At night driving around you see shadows but not enough to tell out who it is... unless Im at a well lit area
