You can't go anymore than 70% legally all around.

No state I know of allows windshield tinting, that would be stupid. I believe IF tinting on a windshield is allowed, it's from the roof down so a certain point that it is and no more than that. The only other tint allowed on it is what's from factory.

20% is too dark. I would never go below 35%. I'm not concerned about being pulled over for it, my main concern is actually the visibility. That's like wearing really dark sunglasses. But I live in Oregon where its rainy and cloudy 2/3s of the year, so where it may be a terrible idea for me, it may work great for you.

I have 15% all around. I think 30 is legal here, but I haven't been pulled over since I got it in January. The back is a tad too dark at night, so 20 would probably be good.

I went with 20% all around(sides and back), and would do it again in a heartbeat, I've not had any issues with it so far in WI,IN and CA(only a few weeks). If its a really dark night on a dark driveway I might have to roll down my window, but its not bad and I think looks really good while still not making it impossible to see out.

Wheeldog, it never bothers you on cloudy days? I'm probably too picky lol. I like 35%, it has the dark, tinted effect from the outside, but it doesn't affect visibility too much.

Nope, I've not had any problems with mine on cloudy days, I've had 35% on a 3 and 5% on a firebird I used to have and would do 20% again in a heartbeat, expecially on another 8. I find 35% when it's sunny out you can see in pretty clearly, where as 20% you almost have to get up on the car to see in, but both I can see out pretty good, just gotta get used to backing out with it. I personally hated my 5% tint, it was WAY to dark.

I wouldn't bother with the sunroof, its darker than the windows to begin with I think, plus it's hardly (if ever) looked at the same way as windows. I doubt anyone would notice you tinted it. Waste of money imo.

Yeah, don't mess with the sunroof lol, it's dark already and you have the shade if you need to block of looking in or letting the sun in.

It depends on your area big time I have 5% on the back 3 windows and 15% in the front.. and I love it, not one problem in a few years with multiple run-ins for other things.

i have a similar set up, except i have 12% on the front doors and 5% for the front eyebrow.

my only problem is not being able to see at night [merging lanes on the freeway or crossing peds] so usually i have to roll down the windows for a second] but it is totally worth it.
