Window Tint

Hey guys.

Im thinking about tinting my car. I wanted to get some opinions on what percentage i should go. I was thinking 50% all the way around (Except Windshield) or 50% on the driver and passenger door and then 35% on the rear glass and the two rear triangular windows on the sides. Also anyone know any good shops that you would suggest.
Thanks.

Going that dark will make you a target for police, even if it is legal.

Looking at the car in his avatar, it looks to be pig bait already.
