Get it matched all around. If it's too dark, then strip off the rear and put 25% or 35% all around. Windshield, get the lightest one they have.

35 all around could be pretty good, 25 might be a tad dark. I have 20 all around and you cannot see in at all at night, during the daytime its somewhat dark as well.

Opps, I mean 25 all around except for windshield. I have 22 all around and visibility is fine for me, but didn't tint the windshield though.
