XFR Tint % recomendations
 
I having my XFR tinted tomorrow and wanted to see what % others recommend. Ive done 20% on my other cars and that seemed like a good middle ground between privacy and still being able to see out at night (plus ive never been ticketed for 20%). All my other cars are white and I think a darker tint provides nice contrast but worried a tint darker than the balck metallic paint used on the Jag wont look right in the sun

If anyone with a black 09-11 xf or xfr could share a few pics and let me know the % it would be most appreciated.

Go with 35% just my opinion.

20% would be prefect. Go for it.

It's an XJ, but it will give you an idea.

As I got older the lighter of tint shade I went. I always had to have 20% or darker, but now I am a 50% referrer.

I tinted my 2013 XFR today with 30%. It looks good considering the dark interior. I always use my interior as a guide. The darker the interior, The lighter the tint.

Thanks for the input. I ended up going with 20% and pretty happy with how it turned out, it does look quite dark at night though. I can see fine out but you cant see anything in. Its been raining here the past few days so I haven't been able to grab any pics but will upload a few tomorrow.

Seeing pictures others posted 30-35% seems like the right middle ground for someone wanting the right look but trying to avoid the legal / visibility drawbacks.
