tinting is all about the light that passes through so a smaller percentage is a darker window.
I laughed so hard, I never even spotted my typo. I should have made the emblem bigger but you get where I'm going with this.

i personally like to black out the emblems and things like that. i debadged, but kept the emblems and blacked out the front and back ones. i also put on a 2.5" daystar and went with 265/70/17 bfg at. and i have a magnaflow catback exhaust with the pipes from the muffler back upsized to 2.5" and blacked out to match the paint. here's a pic:

as 2004rnr said, black emblems would look good too if you want to try that before completely removing them.

I'm sure it would help see my nav screen during sunny days and I agree it would look good. Just can't if the cops are going to bug me.
and yes, darker tint up front helps read gps/nav units
