Whatever is the legal minimum 
You never want to be in a situation where you are forced to remove the tints (think inspection, sale of car etc.)

I like my car dark. My vote is for 5% on all back windows, this is considered limo and legal on back windows in CA. Then do 35% on front driver & passenger windows.

i did the dealer do my tint. i think the legal here in NC is 30%. maybe i am getting old, but it's actually just about right, imo.

I think since your car is already dark on the inside (like mine) you should just go with 35%. But I wouldnt go darker then whats recommended by your state law.
