If you're going to go illegal tint, I recommend sticking to 20% at the most. It'll provide enough privacy while still giving good visibility at night time. Anything lower (ie- 5% or 10%) looks prett cool, but just too impractical for night time vision. I've had 3 cars with 10% and had real trouble seeing out for reversing and such. Finally gave up and went 20% for this current car.

Yeah I'd have to agree with Jim, I've currently got 15% (I think, too long ago) tints on my fronts, and 15% (I think, too long ago) tinted over the privacy glass on the rear windscreen, those coupled with tinted tailights makes it hell to reverse at night not to mention my P's being impossible to see, it looks fantastic but is impossibly impractical.
