Alpina White w/ 35% Tint

Just got my tint done last week. I did 35% (Forumula One Llumar) all around which is considered legal in IL. I love how the tint came out but was suprised how dark 35% looks. I also got GP Thunders 8500 for my angel eyes. For the money it looks good but on a bright day they're not that visible.
Posting pics to help out others on their tint/angel eyes decisions.

I think that the black interior makes it look darker from the outside than it really is. With that being said I really like how the 35% looks, 20% w/ an entire black interior might just be a little too much.
