Tint 25% / 30%

I'm deciding to do either 25% or 30% tint all around.....ca I really can't do jack sh*t so its illegal anyways, what do you guys think? what are the pros and cons you have expierenced with either, or your opinions on it. thx in advance

I don't want it to be easily visible inside at night, but I want driving conditions to be pretty easy as well

I had 5% on my old car... let me just say... BIG MISTAKE. I couldn't see **** when I was backing up.

I'm gonna tint my car soon and I'll probably go with 35%

Im in nor cal and i have 20% all around. I have been pulled over for it. So be careful. At some angles and lighting, 20 is too dark. But i think 25 all around should be okay.

i got 35 on front, but it looks a bit darker, so its probably 30%. I got 20% on the rear windows, 5& on the rear windshield. 5% is real dark. If i could do it again though, because my eyes are used to 5% on the rear windshield, it would be 20s all around, 5% in the back. Kinda depends if you can adapt easily to the change, so depends on how your eyes are. I know when im in the dark, i can see better than most people can. So depends on how your eyes adapt.
For you, since ya want easy visibility, i say go 30% front, and the rest 25% and you'll be happy
PS- I live in Ontario, Canada, specifically Toronto. The reason i went 35% is cuz thats the legal limit here and being a civic owner, i didnt want cops to have more reasons to pull me over.

I've got 5% on my rear three and 35% on the fronts. The first few times you back out at night, it might be hard, but after a while, it's second nature.

If you're deciding between 25 and 30, go to a tint shop, ask for their pictures, and get whichever one you like more. It's only a 5% difference - not much.
