Light Tint, 45/55 percent on windows

[SWFL Emira]

I am interested in a subtle light tint on the front windows. Looking for something that even at night doesn’t look blacked out. Personal preference, but I am not a fan of dark tint. My local shop recommended Xpel 45 or 55 percent. My Emira has the privacy glass on the rear and quarter windows which to me, kind of casts a shadow up front, and makes me think it could make a tint percent appear even darker. I have looked through crazy amounts of tint threads here and 45 and 55 percent don’t seem popular and I have not found a good example of those percents in the sunlight and evening (or low light).

Is there anyone out there that has gone this route and has an example of their car in the sunlight and low light?

FWIW, my Emira is AB with the black pack.

My Emira doesn't have the privacy glass from factory, instead I had my sides, triangles, and inner rear glass tinted with ceramic IRX at 50%. My engine bay glass is still completely clear. I wanted a tiny bit of privacy but mostly the heat rejection. 50% looks great to me, dark in the shade or overcast skies, slightly tinted in direct sunlight. It's very dynamic depending on conditions. I also have a dark interior.

Your Emira looks great. The photos are really helpful and give me a good visual. Based on your photos, I will probably go 55. 45 might be a tad too dark for me, especially since the privacy glass is letting in less light on mine compared to yours, which I think may have an impact on the visual appearance (darkness) of the side windows.
