premium package/active steering/auto sunshade/tiag/black dakota leather/logic 7
35% tint all around
19' DPE GT7
check my sig (deceiving, due to some editing) and gallery, mine is 35% all around. In the sun it doesn't look too dark but at night from the outside it looks pretty dark. I think 20% might be too dark and start affecting night visability on the highway where there isn't street lights and such.

if u dont want any hassles from law enforcement then obvious choice is 35%..... either or both will give u the protection your seeking and will def up the car in the looks department..... for safety concerns go lighter cuz the 20% WILL obstruct vision at night especially if u reside where theres minimal street lights.... also, why would u want it too dark dont u wanna be "seen" in your 5?!!??!?!
