Hi, just had mine done last week, I had 4 options, 35% (lightest), 25%, 15% and 5% (darkest), nearly had 5% but heard that night visibility, reversing etc is hard work if its too dark, so went for 15%, so glad I did too as it is well dark enough for the privacy aspect, and from the outside it looks much darker, its a silver car, but from the inside at least 15% is a good choice.

Check out my 'My Rov' gallery for a couple pics of the darkest tint on black. It doesn't bother me with visibility except backing up in the dark - you can't see a dang thing . Really have to deal with it though when you're as impractical as I am to have a Java black (the best btw ) vehicle in Florida .I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

IMO go for the lighter shade, dark tint in certain lights against the java paintwork can look similar. As a result, the D3 can look rather van like.
A price we pay for having the best colour .
