It depends on your preference.

My first car..I had 5% all around. 2nd car I had 35% front, 5% rear. My current car, I have 35% all around. I always park my car outside and with a reflective windshield blocker, I'm content with it.

When I had 5% all around, I got it because I thought it was cool that no one can see through it. But it was a pain backing out at night in areas with low light and chances of getting rolled by the 5-0 is also a lot higher.

i also had 5%
it was nice because no one can see you
and the car will stay shady inside
but it's a pain with police because it's so obvious
also, i couldn't see anything at night

$225 for just the rear windows and windshield? metallic tint?

sounds a little pricey.
