My vote would be for 5% on the rear windshield, and then 20% on the sides.
I used this combo on my white Acura Legend Coupe years ago, and it looked great.
In my opinion, 5% is a bit too dark on the sides. It looks ghetto, and also makes it harder to see out the side mirrors at night.
On my Acura, I also had 32% tint on the entire front windshield.
I tried that on my E60, but the windshield cracked during the summer from the extra heat absorbed by the tint film.... so I do not recommend doing the front.

With tint on the front windshield how do you handle the inspection and state stickers? If I were to remove mine I could not reapply them. When they are removed they are essentially torn apart because of the way the sticker is made. And if I put the stickers on the tint the tint would rip taking it off? Not saying I'm going to tint windshield but just wondering
