I'm contemplating doing this as well.
I'd love to see pics if you got any!

here's a couple i snapped real quick the day i had it done. I shot it from both sides so you can kinda see how it differs depending on where the lights coming from. This is w/ a black interior and the moonroof open. it's Geoshield Geo50 (50%) all around, and Geoshield IRis70 (70%) on the front windshield.

I have 20% all around. I prefer the uniform look to all the windows versus lighter in front and darker in the rear. Of course, you will run the risk of getting a fix-it ticket.

I was going to go with 20% but wanted ceramic. They only have 35% or 15% ceramic so I went with 15% all around and nothing on the windshield.

the darkest you should go is 20% and the lightest should be 35%, either one all around gives the best look

+1 I think you should dictate local laws and interior color to decide on which one. New York, anything darker than 30% is illegal, so I am going to go with 35%. If the law doesnt factor in, go with 35% if you have a darker interior, or 20% if you have a lighter interior.

Just got my tints done the other night. 35% on sides and rear. I left the windshield alone for now because I wanted 50% and they ran out. I'll post pics soon.
