i am all for dark tint, i have 20% all around and a 5% brow on the top of the W/S but 35 on the WS is dangerous, at night you'll miss anything without lights, like maybe a parked car in the middle of the highway with no lights on.
and your a magnet for a ticket. good luck with that!
i can't see behind me with 20% on the sides and back unless whatever is behind me has headlights.
i can't see nearly as good as i would like when backing up and the camera is not detailed enough at night for real piece of mind.
therefore 5% is way too dark to see behind me.
20% in the day time you cannot see anyone in the car so i don't see the point in doing 5% all around.

I have 70 for my fronts and windshield, 30 for rears. At 70% x 70% (49%) my fronts are too dark. I was suppose to do 90% but somehow I forgot when I was at the installer (had to rush back to work). I find it too dark for my liking cause I kinda want people to be able to see me in the driver's seat
Anywho, one good thing is less heat on my face... But I still feel a bit of heat.

Anyhow, I could never understood the reason for tinting the front windshield! Get a nice pair of sunglasses if the sun bothering you;-)

In CA you should have many excellent tint shops. Pick a few of the top shops and take your car and talk to them in person. They will not only tell you what is legal they can make recommendations based on what you are looking for and which tint looks best on your color car.

The windshield is the largest transparent area of the car, tinting it attenuates the source heating up the cabin. I have my windshield tinted with Crystalline, it works really well. On occasion I have to run short errands and find it cumbersome to repeatedly put up my heatshield for only 20-30 minutes, having the windshield tinted drastically reduces the cabin temp when I return.

If your in the Los Angeles area then i highly recommend Sunshield Auto Tint in Sherman Oaks on Van Nuys Boulevard. They have been there for 30 years and I have been taking my cars there for 16 years. Excellent work, take really good care of your car, and know their stuff.
