Default how much window tint is too much?

this thursday my monte's windows are getting tinted. the passenger and driver windows will be the legal limit. i have no idea how dark to put the rear side windows and the back. i dont mind the reduced visibility but at what point is it too dark to see out at night? thanks for the help!

personally anth thing lower then 20% is todark at night all you can see is abrite light out side , at least with 20% if someone is standing behind you when you back up you can see them thisis something you need to think about also

I have 20% on my sides and limo on the rear... If someone is standing behind me when I back up they are going to wear tire tread marks.

What ever you do, make sure you get a pretty good warranty. My tint is a little over a year old and is peeling off around the edges.

Check your local and state laws. Here in NC we can only do 35% on cars.

ok, my sister got hers done today by the same place... it looks relly good but there are a few bubbles. he said to keep pushing them out and they will stick.... we pushed on them and after some time they started to go away. is this normal? their car is 5 years used so...? would that make a diffrence?

Little bubbles are normal and will usually go away after sitting in the heat for a couple of days.
