15-20%

Anything lower than that gets hard to see at night. I guess it depends on who makes the tint as well.

I got 5% on the back 3, and 50% on the front 2. But the front windows are light, I would do 5 on the back 3 and 20 on the front 2 it would look good!

The pictures you're seeing I have 5% on everything except the windshield. Now, I have it all the way around. I dont play with 20% bullshit....

When i had my silver balt i had 20% all around and it looked good and dark from the outside but you could still see at night. On my truck that i replaced the balt with i went 20% on the fronts and 20% on top of the factory for the back (which was like 35%) and it is alittle tricky at night to see out. My recommendation (i have ALWAYS had tinted windows ever since i started driving) is 35% looks good at first but to me is still too light. 20% looks good and is good for day or night, 5% will get you harassed by cops (depending where you live) and is a PITA to see out of at night. Get 20% all around and you"ll be happy.
