Here is a pic. Suntek carbon 18% rear and back, 35% front. That car has red interior but you can't tell from looking in.
If I was going to do it again I would do 35 percent all around.

35% is plenty particularly with 70% tint on the stock windows to begin with -- .35 x .70 provides for an effective 25% overall tint.

Late post since I saw that you've done the tinting already, but I went with Color Stable.

Anyone tint their windshield? I got mine done today at 80%, interior is noticeably a lot cooler. From outside you cant tell its been tinted. Only thing is the guy did a bad job, tons of dust under the tint :/

Too scared to do that because my night vision isn't that great.
I got a question -- with a plasma tv the threshold for dead pixels is usually 5 as a benchmark for returning a set. How many little imperfections are allowable as a standard for going back to the installer about a tint job that cost under $200? I have maybe 4 little bubbles and one rear "vent" window that isn't exactly flush. My impulse is just to let it go but was wondering nonetheless.

ALL of my windows has at least 1-2 dust spots under the tints. One window was pretty bad, and I made them re do it, it looks great now. I don't recall ever having a vehicle 100% dust free. If you want to check for dust, shine an LED flash light on the other side and inspect.
