50% is almost useless and you will regret every minute of it. However, if you live in a state that aggressively pursues illegal window tint, 50% will be under the radar.

35% is perfect to me. Not too dark...not too light...keeps the heat out and most of the cops away.

Make sure you go metallized or ceramic. Traditional film just doesn't do much unless it's limo dark.

35% is great. That's what I always have had.

I've had both 35% and 50% done on different cars.

I personally prefer 50%, it looks more subtle and clean. I live in California and tint all my windows, so the lighter tint gives me less trouble.

I've only used ceramic tint, and it works really well, even at 50%.

Thanks for the input.. i'm leaning towards a 35% but i'm scared that at night it would be bothersome.

what do u guys think?

35 is fine at night. 35 is barely noticeable and does a descent job in sunlight

As long as you get high quality tint, 35% will not be difficult to see out of at night.

However, if you plan on tinting your windshield, I would do just the windshield at %50 and the rest at 35%.

I've always used Madico ceramic film as it is very easy to see out of.

Here is 50% all around. Perfect IMO.
