it all depends on your state laws. But since you haven't filled out your profile so we know what state you are in or if you have a vert/coupe, i'll just make a blanket statement.
it also depends on what look you are going for. I went with 35% all around for my vert on both the soft and hard top for a "classy" look.

the combination of the black interior and the cloudy day, the tint appears darker than what it is.
I spent $180 on the job and love it
Then there 20% which is the next step, then 5% aka limo tint.
20% is a darker, aggressive look. Depending on the car i love it, especially on the white c4,c5 coupes.
I'm sure someone will chime in with pics.
Also, note that tint fades in the sun just as anything else does over time. The quality/brand of tint you purchase or have installed will determine how long it takes for the tint to gradually fade. it can take 2 years with cheap tint or 5 years with higher quality tint
Not sure if your car is a DD, garaged, not garaged but this all plays into the equation of fading.
I hope the added info helps.

Recomendation: 20%
I had 15 % on the dodge ram i used to own, and i loved it. I will be getting tint on the 95 soon. I will be most likely getting 20 %. i have black interior so it will appear darker than 20.
