I got 20% all around... any darker would definitely be hard backing up at night... and making swift lane changes on the highway

30% all-around is sounding pretty good right now... especially since those light "sand" colored leather seats might stand out through the tint
Non Metallic Black. Could have paid more for the metallic, but it looked "brown" to me in person. I've also heard some bad things about the metallics, but never used it myself. Most places I called gave a lifetime warranty with the metallics, along with free removal and reinstall if ticketed...that was a plus, but just didn't like the "brownish" appearance.

I went with 3M. They're guaranteed for life not to brown, fade, or peel. Also, they're non-metallic. I've read that the metallic tint also messes with the radio antenna in the rear window.

I have 5% back and 15% front. I love it. The sides aren't too dark at night either.
