35 sounds about right for you.

Another combo to consider is 35% with 50% on the windshield, good compromise between 35/20%. I've got 35% now and I'll be adding the 50% sometime

+1 I agree. Everyone has their own opinions though, it's really what you think will look good and will work for you. I had 20 on my old car and liked it alot. NOT TOO DARK to be harassed by police and not bad to drive at night at all. I like the really dark so i went with 5 on my ride this time. It makes it look more agressive if you ask me. but it's up to you.

yea 5% FTW! but cops down here arent too strict on the tints which is why i got them, it just adds to the black on black on black look but everyone has different tastes so whatever works for u

20% at the least.
I have 20% and wish I had 10%. Can EASILY be seen in and out of. Too much heat gets through also.

I just got 25%... 20 is too dark.

25 is just right. I'm sure they'll do it for you if you just ask. IT IS PURE SEX

you can't just ask for some % tint and expect them to have it. if they have 20, then the chances are that they won't have 25.

there isn't a big difference between the two, anyway. 15 and 25 would be a bit of a different story.

I would say 10%, I got 25% and its really not that dark at all Im going to change my back windows to 5% and leave the front at 25%... Also the interior makes a difference too.
