Question Tint Question

I am looking to get my car tinted, it is black so I want something that makes it look real mean. What percentage should i get, i want to still be able to see at night, with no problem.
Here is what i was thinking:
20% for the rear and sides

Should i leave the front clear or do a higher percetage tint on it.

Thanks for the input

i second this. just use your side view when your parking other than that no problems seeing out the windows. i have 15% on the front windows. it doesnt match too well

Wrong! - 5% is deadly... I know from experience... 20% looks like 10% but cops can't do ****... just looks good and not illegal. Do 20% all the way around... and if you really wanna floss your stuff do a 75-50% windshield (illegal as hell) but looks awsome! - bTW don't pay more than $120 for the whole car - With the front strip (yes get one at least to the bootom of the mirror) really sets the car off - other than that make sure the people you use do good work and make them fix every buble and piece of hair you find - inspect it closely and don't take any crap!

Wel;l first off where do you live? I know up north the Tint laws are a lil worse, I got 25% on the front and 20% on the back, And can see pretty well, but during the day the side windows aren't that tinted, IE people can see inside the car during the day pretty easy. so i'd say 15% on the sides and 25% round back so you can see...but with tint your giving up one thing to look better...
