I have 54% on the sides and 35% in the rear. I think it looks classy; not too dark and not too light. The main reason I chose to go with the lighter shade was because I didn't want to be hassled by law enforcement. I have black/black, so it tends to look darker. But if you have a lighter color exterior/interior, you most likely won't have any issues with 35%.

50% is too light. I wouldnt even bother wasting money on the tint then. 
35% is good. 25% ish would probably be BEST to "my" liking...
