Default 23% vs. 35% tint

So a few months ago I went ahead and got an all around 35% tint done on my 03' A4. Recently I've been debating whether I should go darker as the shop that did it for me has acquired a 23% tint as of 2 months ago. What is everyone's opinion, is a 23% tint really that much different, do you guys think it looks better than a 35%? Basically I will be paying $100 to remove the old tint and the same price as I originally paid to get the 23% done. I can't help but feel sometimes that the 35% is too light, but I go back and forth in my mind between yes it is too light and no it's fine and looks classy lol. Thoughts?

I am having the same problem trying to decide. I do not have a tint on my S4 currently, but am debating whether to get 35 or darker. Could you send me some pics of your tint job?

I did 30% on mine and that is dark enough...I went darker on my other car and couldn't see very well at night from the driver/passenger window. Just a thought safety wise.

Default 35% Tint imo

I think a lot of it depends on the interior color of your car. I had a BMP 20th An GTI with a black interior and got 35% all around. It was just perfect in my opinion. Any darker and it would start to look tacky. Just my .02.

Hey, so I ended up getting the 23% done and imo it looks great. The car is silver so I don't think it looks tacky, it actually brings out the shape of the vehicle. And 23% isn't terribly darker than 35% but it's worth getting it.
