What % tint should I get???

I am getting my car tinted next week and I want to know what % to get. I was thinking 30 but dont want it to be too dark to get pulled over.
The place where I am getting it done will do any % then final on the top of the rear window where they can't put tint in the inside and all the windows. going to cost 200.

any suggestions?? also I live in PA if that helps anyone

i would look at your state laws first...then you'll know what you could possibly get pulled over for...i have 25% on my side and 20% in the back but WA state law is at 35%....i havent gotten pulled over but some states are stricter than others. If anything, get your laws maximum then go the next down [ex: 35%->30%]

I just had tint done, i had 5% on the back windows, and 50% on the windshield/side windows. It turned out really really nice, and it almost looks like its stock. I no longer need to wear sunglasses while im driving. It looks hella good. If you go to much darker then 50% in my opinion your just asking for trouble, depending on where you live.

This is the exact website I am on and I was thinking 30 on the sides and 25 in the rear?
Think that would be good idea or 30 all around?

My cars wrapped in 15% except for windshield. Not that bad to see through. Only problem is I had to pay an extra 50 bucks when it came around to inspection time.
