Window tint question

So im trying to decide between 20% and 35%. im worried 20 is going to be to dark and to hard to see when its dark (considering the size of our small windows) and that 35 will be to light and easy to see into. im getting all 5 done and i understand it's illegal. anyone have pictures/opinions anything is appriciated, thanks!

I have 15 all around except windshield which has just the visors done. I don't think 35 will be too light as I considered that and was showed how it looks. Night driving should be okay as long as you are not on an unlighted road with no other cars around and a new moon.

I have 5% on the top of the windshield, 10% on the sides, and 2% on the quarters, with 20% on the back window.

I have 35% on all 5 windows and then 50% on the entire windshield. It too light IMO. I to this day wish I had gotten 20% on the windows.

Tinting your windshield is ILLEGAL in all 50 states. That being said. it sure looks good when you do.. )) My car has 40% on the windshield and 20% all around.

a guy at work has 20% all around and has his windshield done as well, i dont see how you guys get away with the front, it's not like you cant tell its been done and here in hagerstown we have police every freakin where. (i drive 4 miles to work through an area on the outskirts of Htown and its not uncommon for me to pass 3 cops on my way to work)

I got 35% as well and now I'm going to do is get 30% all around. 35% is a bit light for me during the day.

I would recommend that you get 20% on the rear and sunroof if you have one and 35% on the side windows. I have that and keeps the cops away. It works just fine. The rear window will make the whole car look darker.
