That's 20% 3M Color Stable rear & 95% 3M Crystalline on the front sides. I am told that is the only film legal in CA for fronts. I've always had 80% in front on previous cars and have never had a problem with cops here.

If you gave Crystalline, you have 90%. It comes in 40/50/60/70/90

Wells heres 15% windshield 5% sides

I have 35% sides and 20% rear. I couldn't imagine having 20% on the sides, sometimes it gets difficult to see out of the windows in low/no light conditions.

I've had this setup on all my cars for nearly 10 years now so I'm quite use to it.

Good luck driving at night in areas without street-lights.

Yes.

Tint that is too dark looks ghetto. One of my close friends does 5% on the windows and windsheild on all his cars...it looks like shit, but he needs it for privacy purposes. It's downright dangerous driving at night, too.

35% is about as dark as I'll go.

I would go 35% all around and I did that with my previous car that had black interior and it ended up looking like 20% and looked to dark for me.
I actually like the smoked out look and in hindsight would have done 50% all around. I recently did 75% all around which gave the car a nice look in my opinion.
