I'm not a fan of having 35% at the front and darker at the back but here are a few samples as a guide for what to expect that to look like.

Would love to go 20% all around but it's gonna be a hide-n-seek with the authorities thus I scrapped that idea.

Nice photos!I thought they were fairly relaxed with their rules in Singapore, was there last about two years ago and seen a lot of cars getting around that you wouldn't even attempt to drive here on the roads.

I enjoyed the street side cafes at 2am every morning when the boys in their Italian supercars came out every night for a squirt around on the quiet streets, there is no better sound :D

To be legal, we need 70% light visibility for windscreen and driver/front passenger and 25% light visibility for the rest.Nice photos!I thought they were fairly relaxed with their rules in Singapore, was there last about two years ago and seen a lot of cars getting around that you wouldn't even attempt to drive here on the roads.

70% is really not cool looking

Thats also one some heavily modified cars (BA xr6t, Focus xr5t and FG xr8).
Personally i wouldnt bother with 35%....Anything less then 20% is stupid but i feel its the happy medium.

Iv had 20% on all my cars and never had an issue (with visibility or the police) and thats in Sydney.I wouldn't say it's stupid to have anything less, 20% is just for looks and the efficiency of blocking UV is no better than 35%.

If people only want the sun blocking effectiveness then 35% is just fine though it does look better keeping the one shade all round imo but each to their own, I've always used 20% on my vehicles though it can also be a risk for those who attract attention to themselves giving reason for the police to get picky, young drivers with a cocky attitude would soon be given a yellow licky.

I think you misunderstood what i meant by "stupid". By less i meant when people go for 10% or even 5%. Thats just stupid coz it becomes a safety hazard when you cant see properly at night.
In terms of 20 or 35% the difference is mainly for the aesthetics. I just feel that 20% is the best compromise and is a better option then 35
