You're right...but I just felt like everything else was too light.
I just wanted to go dark to try it out. It looks too sexy, I did get stopped almost everyday tho :/ . I started driving with the front window down. But you're right if anything, 20% is the best I guess. There's lil tricks to make your car darker or lighter like tinting the front windshield just a little or Having the sunroof open...

I know what you mean on those tricks, When I want it all blacked out if im parking I put up my sun shade in the front, flip down the front visors, put up the rear shade and close the roof+shade
Makes my 20% look like 5%
If im drivin by the cops Ill drop all shades, open up the roof let some air in and drop the 2 front windows lol

Yeah, there are ways to get around the police when you're driving by in a split second. I'm more worried about the inspection!

So it's 20% all windows or maybe 35% all windows and 50% front windshield ? I'm not gonna lie 5% is too risky , I might just have to change my front 2 windows to 20% but might keep the other 3 at 5% or 20% all around...

Well after going back and forth on the issue, I went with 20% on all windows except the front. The shop didn't give me moleskin even tho I told them that it was needed. The shop insisted that the tint they use is highly scratch resistent. I have a lifetime warranty and if I'm unhappy I'll have them retint.
The car was tinted Saturday and I've yet to open the windows. It has been raining so I wanted to give the car at least one day baking in the sun while I'm at work. At night you cannot see into my car. Overall I'm happy and hope I don't have any problems.

Great choice. Don't open your windows after a good 3days. Show some pics when you can, I'm debating if I should too tint 20% all windows or just change my front two windows to 20%

I can tell you that during the day you could see somewhat into the car, at least in the front but at night you can't see anything. It is dark enough for privacy but light enough to hopefully get by without any problems. I also have the light gray interior so it looks somewhat lighter than if you had a dark interior.
