Get whatever looks good to you. long as it has uva/uvb protection in the 99% range, youre good. tint your windshield while youre at it! protect your skin.
Im sure youll get some "Huber optic" fanboys checking in soon.
Im at 35% all the way around, and 50% on the windshield. Cops love me.

I debated for a bit about the tint but it's my daily and it's too hot here in Texas

Here's my nay-sayer arguments for tinting the windshield in Texas:
There's the problem with the ultra-sticky Texas inspection/registration sticker messing up the tint whether you use tinted or clear UV blocking on the windshield. There is no way you'll get the old one off each year without tint damage. In Texas a dark windshield tint will not pass annual inspection not to mention giving the police another reason to stop you. Rules/opinions in other states may vary.
You know the rule in Texas is to always try to find parking in the shade right, not just for the interior but for the paint/trim? The few times I park my Porsche in the sun are few and rare especially in the summer!
Most reputable shops will not do greater than 35% on the front driver/passenger windows due to Texas law. BTW, a good ceramic 35% tint will block more 99% of UV and more than 80% of infrared.

Not looking to get too dark as I do not want trouble with the cops just wants to be cooler when I get in the car in the middle of the heat
