I had my RS tinted with 35% 3M last week
Looks great. Any chance you could post a few more pics? I'm trying to get mine tinted too and I'm trying to figure out the % for the front and back.

I think you mean you got it 65% tinted.
The percentage is the amount of light that is able to pass through it, and we can easily see in your windows.
If you had 35% it would be hard to see in because only 35% of the light is getting into your car.
Looks good though.

65% wouldnt hardly look like there was any tint on it.

That doesn't look like a lot of tint to me....
I think its 65, look through the windshield through the driver door, hardly any darkening at all.

Not only is there a seat in the way, but that light is also going through 2 windows that are "tinted" and the picture is at an angle.
So that is, as you guys claim, 35% of 35% of the original light,
or as I say, 65% of 65% of original light.
Either way, there is a lot of reduction there.
The best would be a picture from 90* to the side so we can see straight through the window.
You are aware that tint looks darker from the outside than the inside correct?
Looking "through" the windshield to look outside from a tinted window doesnt judge the tint level whatsoever.

AreYaDumb? Ever sat in a car with heavily tinted windows and a non-tinted windshield? The windows are darker than the windshield.
Tint is the amount, or Percentage of light that passes through.
So, if you look through the Non-tinted windshield at a Tinted window, you can get an idea of how much light is passing through that tinted window. And seeing how there is very little change in the light coming through the passenger window, it means that that window is not heavily tinted. Thus, 65%.
Im not the dumb one.
You cant judge tint by looking outside from the inside, which is what you are doing by looking through the windshield.

Yea, and his windows sure as hell arent close to the 38% in the link you showed.
I was saying 65% because it is the reverse of the 35% the OP claimed.
