Default Black truck-20% front tint pics?

If anybody has any pics of their truck (a black one) with 20% tint on the two front (driver/passenger side) windows, can you let me know. I will be getting mine done on Friday and I am not completely sure which % I want to go with. I think our legal limit is 30% but the shop will do 20 or even 15 if I want. I think I want to go with the 20 as it wouldn't be quite as obvious (I think) as the 15 but i am not sure. Those who have 30 and those who have 15 could you also reply if you have some pics I could check out.

Default Search the threads for "tint"

and read up. 20% looks great but might be more hassle then what it's worth. Here's 2:

What % tint are the rear Tundra side windows?

metalized tint and polarized lenses

I know PEID had some nice shots of his truck with the tinted windows that were I believe 20% or 15%

I have 43% metalized tint on my front windows. It is SolarGard HP Charcoal 43 tint. You can check it out in my gallery. It blocks 50% of the heat, which was the main reason I got it.

Thanks guys. I knew I could count on you. I will be getting the windows done in the morning (8hrs from now). I will check out there tint and use these replys you have given to make my decision. I will take a pic and let ya know what I did. Unfortunatly I do not have a digital camera anymore (new one coming real soon ) son I will have the wife take a shot with her 35mm and scan it in.
