Replied by Scimike on topic 3 Rear Window Tinting - 20% or 35%?
I did my own with film from Halfords which reports to be 15%. The sides are easy, the rear window not so, hence I only have side tints. I actually don't mind the side only tint now as it achieve the look was after and I have absolutely no issues at night.
As a direct side view the tint looks darker than it actually is due to both side windows lining up, you are effectively looking through two tints.
Side view:-
From within it looks a lot lighter, you can see this in the following picture if you look through the side / rear window, so that's only 1 tint in play.
I would happily go darker than 15% as it has no noticeable impact from within, so 20% is going to give you the look without compromise to night driving if you are having all three windows tinted.
Get them hold some film to the windows before you decide.
