Window tinting question

I have a black obsidian ISF, was thinking about getting it tinted. Haven't driven a sedan in some time, so was curious how everyone is tinting. I have to run legal 35% on front doors, should I do legal all over or 20% on the back doors/back glass. Just curious how it looks. Thanks.

Blacked out definitely looks really nice. I don't know how the cops are in MO, but the cops in VA are really strict about window tinting. I had 18% on front and back on my black IS250 and I got pulled over two times within weeks of each one. I completely stripped off my front ones. Cops still tell me to take off the back, but they haven't ticketed me for just the back yet (I hope they don't). If cops around you don't care too much, go for the 20%. It looks so clean. Good Luck.

20 looks clean, but a higher risk of getting a ticket. Are you going for more if a show look or uv protection? 35 isn't bad at all, especially at night.

Just want it to look good. I had 20 all around on my G37, but was lucky not to get ticketed. I'm leaning towards 35% all around.

I get the tint with leather interior, but fishbowl can look good too. Polished wheels really help pull off the fishbowl look, but Id just go 35% if you have to have tint
