Whatever you chose, get the same all the way around. Maybe it is just me, but I don't understand why you would get darker tint on the front and lighter on the back. 50% would be really dark. I had 35% and you had to look at it from just the right angle to see in at all. Go with 35% all around.

Thanks everybody for your input! It looks like half of the members like dark and half like it 35%.

I think I'll do 35% to 38%. I'll keep you guys updated w/ pics.

Cheers!

The legal limit here in Florida is 28% for the front two windows (driver/passenger) and 14% elsewhere, but I REALLY hate having two different shades so I went inbetween and had 20% all around. So technically the front two windows for my car are illegal but I was pulled over once the cop never said anything about it. I'd suggest get the visor done for the windshield too, the tough part is the area near the rear-view mirror where all the black teflon dots are, if whoever's doing your tints just put the tints over, it'll leave little air bubbles underneath and those look AWEFUL. I heard there is something you can spray on there first before applying the tint to prevent the bubbles but I'm not sure what it's called, I really didn't like the bubbles I had on that part of the visor that I went back to the shop and had the guy cut out the tints on that dotted area and replaced with a strip of vinyl instead.
