BigBoyHF,
I too spent a premium for the added UV and heat blocking. I've had anywhere from 5% to 50% on previous vehicles, and from previous experience, this tint just looks lighter to me.
Detailking,
I do have a sunroof and the shade was closed at the time I took the picture. Another factor is that I have a light colored interior. I've had 50% on a black car with charcoal interior and it looked darker than my current car.
Grandprix,
Any chance you could post up a pic of your car for comparison sake? The law in my state was only recently changed to allow tinting of driver and passenger door windows. As a result, most people around here don't have tint. The individuals that do are mostly teenagers that have 5% all the way around.
Now, the darkness of the tint job is somewhat growing on me. I still don' t like the feeling when I'm sitting in the car, looking out the windshield and side glass and not seeing much of a difference in terms of darkness. The tint shop couldn't get me in today, so I will be taking it in on Monday.
