There are a lot of factors to consider: What look you want. What color your interior is. What you're legally allowed--this varies by state (35% is NOT factory on the front). How much you'll be bothered by the darkness at night. If I lived in the South I'd go pretty dark, but since I don't I wouldn't want more than 35% unless my interior was light-colored.
There's plenty of info out there.

CLICK

check my album by clicking above


i went with

50% Front Doors
35% Rear Doors
20% C-pillar & Rear

i wanted more visibility in and out of front windows but i didnt want it to look odd like only the rear of car was done


im really happy with it

FYI most installers will try to have u pick one % for all glass but i was 99% sure i did not want this

Default Nice

That looks really good. Ya you apologies your right about that. I think that it was 35 on the rear of some from the factory. My friends f150 came with almost nothing on the front and 35 on the rear I believe from ford.

Your silver 6 looks good I like the way you did the tint. I do agree with the seeing at night thing. Gosh when I had that 5% all around on my Chevy it was nice. Car stayed cool during the day. Yet at night impossible to see out of. Include certain flashing lights. I think state limit for Texas is 25 fronts and pretty much as dark as you want the rears as long as you have your 2 side mirrors. Florida is 25 front and 15 backs. My old criminology teacher/bay county sheriff used to tell us to stay legal but the less they can see of you and your vehicle the less likely your to be considered a target for undesirables.
