If it stays the same, and I imagined seeing somthing about it, you can call me an idiot.

Default I think if anything it gets a pinch lighter....

the condensation between the tint and the glass should make it darker I think.

Default I do not believe that the colour shade changes in any noticeable fashion either way

unlike paint.

Default Lighter...

After about a week, it varies of course, the tint will start to look lighter--namely, you'll be able to see through it from the outside easier.

Default As they replied, lighter. But its actually just getting clearer because of...

the drying time of the adhesive. So new tint installs is hazy in appearance and, thus, perceived to be darker which is true since light doesn't pass thru as much.
