Default I have 35% tint/smoke on the rear doors/quarters panels/rear

This I would say is what you would want to have (since the rear doors on back are already done with that privacy glass tint.

Shoots, I don't know how people do it with the 20% or even the darker 5% limo tint...they must have eaten carrots since infancy to have perfect vision through the tint... I don't, so I am happy I went with 35% all around (that includes the front section door windows).

I second that also... We are suppose to have nothing darker than a 88% tint. But who follows these rules these days? COPs only stop you mainly if you have a body kit or something to come with that tint. I have a 35% tint and still didn't get stopped... yet. Plus I commute 80 miles a day.

Dude Fuzzy. 75% is like no tint at all. I been told with 50% tint is still barely noticable at all (only noticable at night). tC's windows is pretty much at that 88% mark. It looks tinted bc of the UV protection on the windows.

I would recommend anyone that is really scared of the cops but still want a tint that is just barely noticeable would be 50%.

30% all around if you want a clean look. No lower than 20% and you will be fine.
