35% Down the windshield and 17% on the sides. I like my windows dark, but some states are more strict and enforcing than others.

Removes a lot of glare and stays cooler in the summer. Its not very noticeable from inside the car.

I have 5% sides and 20% rear because with my cam mounted on harness bar I sometimes likes to cam rearward and darker tint would make for crappy video.

Check with your state!! Had mine done in Florida but my home state is Virginia. Was ticketed by "County Mountie" for "too dark". Judge agreed.

A few people put a strip of black vinyl over the raised bumps on the back window. Otherwise you will see where the tint did not adhere to the glass.

They are CCW...
As to tinting the windshield... I say just ~~~~~>
There is no way I would want to limit visibility out of the front of the car. I guess I could see it on a sunny day weekend cruiser...
