depends on your state and cops.
also the cars color if black can make the tint look darker from the outside.
on my black civic i got 20% on front windows and rear window, and 5%tint on the side rear windows. it looks just about blacked out and nice, but on any other color car tint can look lighter.

These laws are current as of July 2004 and are often enforced differently by different law enforcement agencies. In all cases, refer to you local authority for enforcement policies, current laws, rules or regulations. Your current state law is the final authority. The numbers represent the percentage of light transmitted through the tinted glass, so the lower the number, the darker the film allowed. Generally the films are sold as 5%(limo), 20%(dark), 35%(medium), 50%(light).
