hrmm depends what's legal down under....I have 15% all the way 'round (what comes stock on the back of mini vans and suv's)...I couldn't be more happier, just dark enough for some privacy but you can still see to back up at night (sort of)

^ 15% is darker then 20%.

The lower the %, the darker the tint.

I have 20% on the back 5 windows of my gen 2.

Just to clear things up...5% is limo tint. It is very dark. 15% is lighter than that. I have 32% on the sides and 15% on the back glass on my 98 Camry. I am happy with it, but sometimes I wish it was a little darker on the sides. It is a little difficult to see to back up at night though.

I believe it means 15% light can get through.
