I have 15% in the rear. And at times its HARD to even look in due to the black leather. But I have 50% in the front, due to the law. Its not that bad. But if i had the chance to go back, id due 38% in the front. They also had 35 but that would of gone even darker. If you could get 35 or above to somewhere 50% below. my recommendation: DO IT!!!

If you're not getting any tint on the front windshield, 35% won't be too dark.

Should be fine, barely even noticeable. If you see a cop just roll your front windows down.

I'd say the 35%

but also consider the cops in your area, the way your car looks, and the color of your skin...

if cops can't see you, but think that you may look like trouble, they very well may pull you over just to do a "routine check" and give you a ticket for your tints while they're at it
