Somewhere between "Lafayette trash" and "self-important celebrity in a limo".

5%, keeps the heat out and I don't want to be seen. Why is that trashy?

20% is as far as I'd go.

That's plenty dark for people to not be able to see stuff sitting on your back seat.

The heat blocking is moot now a days. As long as you get ceramic tint with 50% or more visibility and it still blocks something like 85% of the heat.

Going any darker than 20% will give you issues at night with visibility.

5% all the way around besides 20% on the windshield. Its awesome during the day but can be tough at night until you get used to it. I love it but the only thing I worry about is if someone doesn't have their lights on at night

I have 20 % on my front driver and passenger's seat window.

I have 5 % on my rear driver and passenger's seat window and 5 % on my rear glass.

Having a 360-degree camera, I have zero issues with being able to see at night.

Me exactly.

Had to buy premium HID’s to see the road. Night time can be sketchy on two lane highways with no street lights. And don’t even try to look at your phone.

5% on the back and rear windows and 50% on the front windows of crew cab truck, legal in Louisiana. However, bought the truck new from out of state and never got an inspection sticker for it, nearly a year later and haven’t been pulled over.

Hair dryer. Just need to heat it up enough to warm the adhesive up and it peels off. The longer you warm it, the cleaner it comes off. One of my windows had streaks of adhesive all over it because as soon as it was warm enough to remove, I pulled it, and then never cleaned it up.

The newest tints out there block the same heat regardless of how dark.

Mine is around 15%. If I lived in a much more populated area and drove a lot at night it would be a pain in the arse.
