If you do a lot of night driving id do the 25%....20% or less is pretty dark imo...

If I was in Illinois I'd probably pick the lighter 25. I'm in Fla and previous owner had already tinted my car very very dark - see pics below - not sure what # it is though. It can be problematic at night but I'm getting used to it. I love it during the day - it helps keep the black interior from getting too hot and gives me a lot of privacy.

The previous owner tinted mine but I think it's around 15%. As others have said, at night its a bitch to see out of.

I have 15% formula one pinnacle series was $500 dollars and I have lumar air blue 80 on the windshield and is great at keeping the dash clean and not getting it faded. Its a ceramic tint and is amazing with heat. I do a decent amount of night driving and its not bad at night but again im 18 and have good eyes still so that makes a difference imo its the perfect tint any darker it would get bad and any lighter it would be to light.

what are the tint laws where you live and how likely are you to be stopped for illegal tint?

According to this tintworld link the OP's state of Illinois doesn't allow any tint on the front windows which seems extreme. The chart says Florida allows 28% on the front windows but I've never been hassled here about having darker.

Dropped mine off today for tint this morning. Actually getting 30% because I don't want it solid black. he has a 70% he recommends for the windshield. Says it cuts down glare and UV quite a bit. I may have him do it.
