Dark tint on rear screen, and a very very light smoke tint on the sides works for me....any darker on the sides can give vision problems at dusk or if you don't have the front sides done it will look a bit odd.

YUP, there is new laws regarding the Tints.
Basically it is as follows, you can do anything rearward of the B-pillar Limo etc, basically you cannot do anything to the Front anymore, the requirement is for 70% VLT but most cars come form the factory with approx 25-28% tint in the glass bringing your VLT down to 72/75%, thus you are still within the legal limit, any tint at all on top of this will drop your VLT to an illegal level.
