Cars that have darker tint on the rear window than on the side windows look weird to me. Get whatever is the minimum legal tint level for your state so you don't get any t$ckets. Most every state doesn't allow you to tint at all on the front windshield, except for the top 'sun visor' inch or w/e.

I have 35% all around, the minimum to be legal in OR

I would say go 15%. 20% is the limit in Indiana but I never have got hasseled for having 15. I wanted to do 5% on my new SS but the place where I get my windows tinted will only go to 15% unless I want it with no warranty or anything so I think I'm just going to go with 15% all around again, its dark enough so that it looks good but you can still see out at night.

I have 15% all around and am very happy. I have never been harrassed by the cops for it.

My friend had 5% all around on his Mustang, but got a ticket and had to remove it to keep from getting more fines.

30 or 35% is the limit in Oklahoma (I can't remember)
