This is going to be a subjective ?
Granted Angle of Sun, Interior Color, Is Sunroof Open, Sunroof Shade Open. LOL, my tinter loves me as I'm always back getting the job done twice

Front WS a@ 70 and 30% on the fronts.
I did not want the fronts to be 20%. Too dark....

Rear and Runroof specs are fine - 70% on those as the factory dye is dark enough.
I don't like the looks of 20 or darker on front's. A smidge lighter looks better IMO.
A smidge...

Back in the days, I even went Llumar as they made a 25%

But the 30% is a wee too light IMO.
Just light enough that I'm going back to get it redone.
Maybe 55% on the windshield will make the fronts just right.

And or, eh, going to go 20% on the fronts.

Interior isn't a light color as well. Not dark though. Tartufo.

On your pic, yeah, 30% front with 70% windshield looks fine on overcast, semi cloudy.

I know it won't be universal in all lighting conditions.

Gotta pick my battles I suppose. Just seems a bit too light when it's sunny.
Parking street side on a curb may require window rolldown IME.
I think maybe just doing the front WS from 70 to 55% should make it a happy medium.

But ....on the flip-side, in low light scenarios, I can definitely tell the difference when driving with a tinted vs untainted windshield.
