Also remember the C7s have a 75% tint from the factory so adding more tint may get darker than you expected. 20% is really about 20 x .75 = 15%
I put 35% on the sides and 20% in the back. I wish I had gone with 35% on the back too as it is pretty hard to see out the back. Esp. at night. It's like looking into a cave...

I just had mine done with Llumar Air Blue 80. I do dark tints in my minivans but I wanted a "stealth" tint to keep the stock look but block out the heat/UV/glare that makes you tired on trips. Compare the specifications, this product keeps out the heat better then many dark tints.

Just make sure the tint level is legal according to the local authorities. I'd suggest a ceramic for the windshield, not dark but helps keep the heat down when the car is out in the sun.

CA is max 70% light transmission on front sides including the OEM tint, any on back sides and rear. I'd proably go 50 on the sides, 35 in rear. That's darker than allowed, but unlikely to draw a ticket.
