You will be fine with whatever % tint most likely, just don't do something stupid like pull up next to a cop at a stoplight and expect him not to notice your extremely dark tint..

I am in Texas and got stopped for "illegal tint", I had 5% on sides, 20% on the hatch, now its 20% all around. Legal here is 25% on front windows, no limit on rears, problem is that no company makes a 25%... so its either 20 or 35... Back when I had my LT1 it was 5% on hatch and it was very dark at night, very hard to see back thru...... My best advice would be 20% all around.
