I went with 35 front 15 rear. Only slightly illegal, but I've seen much worse around town.

I took my car to the dealership today for some modification

The loaner they gave me (a focus S i think) was, I would guess, tinted 35% front and 5% in back. My point is that most of the time, cops won't harass you for tint unless it's ridiculously dark like 5% all around.

Looks nice. Must be hard to see out at night with the tint that dark?

Looks nice and I wish tinting front windows was legal in CA. The last time I tinted my front windows, about a decade ago, I got two tickets within 60 days so it came off and I haven't done it since. I notice they are more relaxed about tinting in SoCal vs. NorCal. I like to drive fast and don't need another reason to focus attention on me. Good luck avoiding the police.

It's not difficult to see out of the windows at night, only when parallel parking. Just sucks to roll the windows down after spotting a cop while it's raining.

All of your cars look great. Thanks for sharing them.

Functionality-wise, I'm loving the 20%. They must have used a different type of tint than my Focus had, because it's definitely darker, but now I no longer need sunglasses while driving.
