I would recommend 5% all around due to how hot it is in Texas. If you have trouble seeing at night, 15% is good too.

I would watch what tint you do because now a days, the laws have gotten a bit more strict and most of these inspection guys are carrying around a tint measuring device that tells them what percentage tint you have on your vehicle and I would say around 90-95% won't pass you if your tint is too dark. I think the law states that you have to have 30-35 as the darkest for the front windows but the rears sides and back can be 20%. Any lower and you may need to remove them if you ever want to get your vehicle inspected unless you know someone.

Earmark in Dallas does a really good job though they charge a little higher than others. But you get what you pay for.

I've done about 10 cars with Claudio at ProTint in Plano. Only one came back with a slight bubble, which he fixed as soon as I brought it back. They carry Llumar and Huper Optik.
