Bump! Deciding between front windows at 35% (legal) or 20%, so if anyone has additional photos they’re willing to share, that would be awesome.
I did the legal California tint. My car is black/black/black. I highly recommend the ceramic clear tint for the front windshield. It makes a major difference in heat transmission. I don't know if it's a placebo effect, but it also seems to help oncoming headlight glare at night.

What tint percentage is that? It looks mean
30% the legal maximum
I think you've got it the other way around, in California 70% is the lowest visible light transmission (VLT) you can have on the front side windows, not 30%. Windshield is not allowed any tint beyond the top 4".
The front is clear (no tint) ceramic from 3M. As you said, the sides are 70% vision, so 30% tint. It looks dark because the only color inside is red stitching. On the outside, only the calipers are red. I bought the silver and black wheel rim caps and bonnet from Lotus and swapped out the chrome Lotus lettering for black. I had it all done while it was getting a full PPF. What can I say, I am shyI think you've got it the other way around, in California 70% is the lowest visible light transmission (VLT) you can have on the front side windows, not 30%.

Can’t wait to see that.I did 15% tint on the side windows and 50% on the wind shield. The shop told me 15% would match the privacy glass. Car is still at the shop. Will report back when it's done.
Done. 15% on the side is still slightly lighter than the privacy glass. But pretty happy with the looks and significantly reduced the heat.Can’t wait to see that.
