Pics of BSM 1M Coupe with Tinted Windows?

I thought for sure I would have the windows tinted within the first few weeks or purchasing but this being my first Black car I started to have second thoughts. Now I'm 4 months into ownership and not sure, which is weird since I always tint. I just don't want to make it too blacked out, which is why I won't paint the wheels black either. Anyone have pics of their BSM Coupe with tint?

I can show you some iphone pics later if you want (at work right now). My last car was blk/blk and I did not tint it. Decided to tint my BSM 1M on monday after owning it for ~2 months. Kinda happened on a whim. Wasn't dissatisfied with no tint, but figured why not...Went with 35% on all windows except for the windshield which I believe is the legal limit for Texas. It looks darker due to it being a blk/blk car. I like it so far, gives more privacy (though I was a fan of the fishbowl look). I also got the fancy ceramic tint which is supposed to block more sunlight and apparently keep the interior in better shape/cooler which in Texas is very important.

I consider a tint a must on BSM, plus I live in South Florida so tint is always a must. Here's some of mine, I want to say it 30% and these are just photos I had not the best for showing the tint.
