go as dark as you want, and when you get pulled over pay the $40 bucks to have it put back on.
i have 5% all around and couldnt be happier.

ps. limo tint went out in the 80's.

50%: http://multimedia.mmm.com/mws/mediaw...66S8ndCOrrrrQ-

Yes - there are differences, but for the 50% it's 97% UV blocked, for the 5% it's 99% UV blocked. They differ in things like solar heat rejection and glare prevention for sure, but the UV has very little appreciable difference between 50% and 5%.
I got the 3M CS (color safe) non-metallic film, 20% on sides and rear. I love it.

Now that summer is coming up, I'll prob re-tint the front again, but probably one shade above clear! Sux, we're the sunshine state, but can't tint the windows!

They must have changed that recently. Last time I looked it up for Cali it was 70% front, any amount on the back.

Got 35% in the front, 5% in the back...
I have to get it redone though because they half-assed the job and it looks really bad, but I like it. Where I live it gets to over 100 degrees, so when I leave the car out in the parking lot somewhere the tint helps keep the heat out.
