Every vehicle I've ever had always went 5% always looks great especially on a camaro!!!

I always do 35% on all the windows. I think it's the perfect balance between light and dark. That will be the first thing I do when my white SS comes in.

50% is all that's allowed in my STATE. My first car had 20% I got pulled over so often I took it off :( lowest I have dared go was 35%. JUST saying

In Alabama the law is no less than 32% all the way around the car. You can have the top 6" of the windshield tinted, but it cannot be reflective (mirrored). You can have mirrored tint on the other windows as long as it is not more than 20% reflective. You can have your mirrors tinted as well and there are no restrictions on colored tint. Dealers have to sell certified film (the manufacturer actually certifies the tint for sale in Alabama). You are also legally required to have a sticker between the glass and tint on each window tinted that states the tint is legal.

We're only allowed 35% on the rear and back windows with 50% sides. I get migraines with intense light so I'll be at 35% all the way around with 70% on the windshield.

I don't want to admit, but I guess I'm getting old: hard to see out with darker tint when it's raining or something...

That's exactly what I did on my 2010 SS, and my 2014 Fusion. It's a good blend. I'd kinda like 25 all the way around, but I also like not getting pulled over, so it's a trade-off.

I like 35%. It seems to help a lot with night vision for me. My wife has 30% and at night I am always rolling the side windows down to see better.
