I wouldn't go any darker than 20% on the side windows. It's a real pain to have to roll down the windows to see where to turn into the driveway at night.....my wife has limo (5%) on her pickup, so I know about it first hand.
Although I do have limo tint as "eyebrow" on the front windshield. That works very well to cut down on glare.

i just got 20% tints today all around, i also have a strip that goes across the top of the windshield. This dims street lights at stops and the sun. it looks really good with titanium gray. I think if I were to black out my lights I would definatly be pulled over.

I just had 20% put on my car this last weekend. Of course, 32% is the legal limit in Kansas, but as long as you don't act like a jackass if you are pulled over, the cops usually don't mind the darker tint (just turn on your dome light if you are pulled over at night, so they can see in). Also, it helps to get a higher quality tint, such as one that has a double layer of metal in the film as opposed to getting a dyed film, as the higher metal content kind of gives a mirror effect, making it harder to see in.
I can post pics if people are interested, inside and out.
Oh, for the noobs out there.. 0% tint means 0% light passes through. Might as well just spray-paint your windows solid black. And as far as full tint on the windshield goes, that is highly illegal, and highly stupid.

So far I haven't had any issues with my cell phone or radio. In fact, my previous car (a '94 MX-3!) had the exact same film on it for three years before I traded/gave it away, and again had zero issues.
