I think 20% should match your pano. You should also take into consideration what color your interior is. If you have a light interior such as Ash or Stone, 35% will come out looking really light and vice versa. Try doing a search on tint and see other member's tinted cars.

In Cali, its legal to put 83% film on your front windows, but I'm pretty sure you could get away with 50% up front since they're as clear as saran wrap. 
I got popped earlier this year for 20% on my front windows on my truck. Check out this link

Avoid products that contain ammonia in them when cleaning windows with tint. I personally use Stoner Invisible Glass on my cars. Works great and you could get them at Walmart or Kragen. You should also use a microfiber towel when cleaning your windows to avoid any scratches. Rags that are 100% cotton will work as well. Avoid paper towels.

And 20% is darker than 35%?
