It's so difficult to tell what it is actually like from a picture.
Your tint place will probably have different % examples for you to see in person.
Personally, I went too dark on the rear window, and could of kept it lighter to see out easier, but still been dark enough to not see in. JMO.
Good luck

These pictures are to show you the difference with sun on it and not.
It looks darker when its overcast and black at night. Driving around in the day its perfect and not too bad at night but I do have to put my windows down to back out of my driveway so I can see the edge (no lights around).
It keeps the heat out really well. Its never too hot in the car, even if its sitting in direct sunlight for hours.
Having the windows dark really sets off the look too. You'll love it. 20% is perfect IMO.

Got 20% all around.To me, 15-20% is perfect...But whatever you go with, it will be a nice upgrade from the glasshouse feel!

Nothing but crappy cell phone pix, but you get the idea. Also, if a shop is doin it, make sure they offer a lifetime warranty and one piece tinting!!
