From looking at the sides, I know you can't see the back, but does it look weird since the back is darker than the sides if you walk around the entire car? Is the shade that big of a difference to notice it? Has anyone heard of a tint called Sunguard, that is what they will be using. He said most cars from Florida uses it. Are they any good? Thanks guys.
I actually have 35% on the side front windows, 20% on the rear side windows, and 20% on the rear window (although I have the ragtop so the rear window is small and distant from the side windows).
But even with the 35% and 20% adjacent to each other, you can't notice much of a difference. In fact, I'd say you'd have to be looking for the shade difference to really notice. It doesn't look bad at all.
And it's pretty common to do the rear window darker. If you looked at tinted cars in more detail, you'd begin to notice that. It doesn't look bad.
I haven't heard of SunGuard, but there's a LOT out there. It's probably okay. But be wary if a sales guy tells you that most everyone in Florida is using it. Every shop you go to will tell you a different story. There's a few common films, but I doubt that SunGuard is that common that it's the predominant film.
