Opinion (vote) - Window Tint
I am debating on how to tint the windows on my Zircon x-Type (picture attached). If you could please vote and provide comments on your vote, it would be much appreciated.
The main reasoning for this is for sun protection for my daughter and heat reduction in the car. Privacy and the looks are nice too, but not the priority. Legally, I am allowed up to 35% on my front windows, so all combinations listed below are legal. All of these options will provide around the same amount of UV protection, so I am looking for your suggestion on looks.
Option 1 - 50% Blue tint all the way around. See attached photo of Nissan.
Option 2 - 35% Black/Charcoal all the way around.
Option 3 - 5% Black/Charcoal on rear 3 windows, 35% Black/Charcoal on front windows.
Thanks for helping me make the decision. I believe I am leaning toward the blue, as I think it would look sharp on Zircon, but on the other hand, I like the idea of 5% on the rear for max protection for my daughter, but I think that dark of a tint will look silly with the Zircon.

Personally i think the factory tint is ample and shows a nice contrast with the interior colour.
To me, aftermarket tints have to much association with boy racers, chavs and drug dealers to be a class addition to most cars especially the classy looking car you have.

I'm in Phoenix where the sun is really bright most of the year. I had my windshield replace and before they put it in I had them tint it the very lightest shade they had. As for the other windows, I have them all the same dark charcoal shade. I would never go light in front and dark in the rear, looks hokey to me. The important thing is to find a good tech to apply the tint who pays close attention to detail. He's got to bring the tint all the way up to the window's edge with no gap and use a blade at an angle to shear off the excess so it looks factory. I'm not a fan of colored tint.
