Default Window Tint

Im really interested and want to tint my windows but havent pulled the trigger yet.
I live in California and tint law for front sides is 75% and no law on how dark the back windows can be
S2000 is a coupe i want to know what people have gotten
My friend has a jeep with 20% and hasent gotten bothered by CHP
Any native Californians im looking to see what tint you guys got

Anything Darker than 35% in the front is kind of over kill and very hard to see out of the side mirrors at night. 20% is doable but again hard to drive at night especially with the top up the blind spots the S has on the sides you really need your windows. 5% is just dumb unless you roll top down all the time.

I never bothered tinting the S2000 because in the summer the top is always down, and any other time the windows are so damn small anyways that I never felt the need. I will say that if you do 75% on the sides you might as well not do anything because nobody will ever be able to tell you have tint. Anything 50% or higher is almost invisible and only serves to protect your interior/cool it in the summer slightly, but does nothing aesthetically.

I didn't get the S tinted dark, but my last car was 15%. You will get pulled over if you go that dark. Trust me.

Oops, missed this. In that case, 75% sides, maybe 50% rear, or 35% max.
