Pics of window tint wanted (+%), mostly: -30% on stock windows (so 70% tint, right?) Options

I'm bit confused about that window tint thing... Here in every local shop I can hear:

- stock window tint is 11%
- maximum allowed tint is 30% front side, etc...

But according this post there are also numbers like 70% in some US states!!! So... is that mean how much light can go through or how much is window darker? Or it's (again) different in US and in Europe how to describe window tint?

However... I would like to see car with tint 30% darker than stock on windows (or something around). That means 70% of light can go through...

thanks folks

If your right about Europe, than it's just different here. Here 70% is barely tinted. 30% is the darkest legal tint. (in Oregon at least). But I know a few people that run 15% or 10%. One guy even had 5%. Can't see sh** through it. Cops aren't too anal around here...just tell them you bought it that way and didn't know...

5% would be hell driving at night. its hard enough to see out of mine. i think 15% is perfect. 30% tint or higher isnt worth it to me, and any darker just isnt practical and draws attention from cops. even mine, you have to get your face right up to the window to see inside during the day. at night, its practically impossible to see inside.
