Default tints

I know it's ultimately my choice, but I would like some feedback. I'm getting the rear and side windows tinted in a dark smoke color. In my state 35% is legal, so I can't decide whether I want 35% all around or 35 on the back half and 50% on the front doors. I have seen pics of this and it looked nice, but it might look different in person. Heres a pic of the car, help me choose. Thanks

Default tinted

I got the car back and I'm now tinted all around 35%.I picked up the car after closing time so I know nothing about how to care for the tint yet, I'm going back tomorrow, except that I can't/shouldn't open the windows for 3-5 days. Any tips would be great. Thanks

I would suggest not using your windows for a longer time than that just to be sure they fully set and dry, because the look of them being done can be deceiving. In terms of other tips, I was always to to never clean the windows with any windows cleaner after they are tinted because it could ruin the tint finish with the harsh chemicals and as an alternative just use either water or a VERY diulted mix of soapy water to clean them. But nothing with Amonia or chemicals like that (Windex).

I also heard that if you do happen to get a bubble in the tint which could happen as it drys to smooth it out ASAP.
