Cool Window Tinting Suggestion?

Hey guys! I searched around the forums a lot seeing what a lot of you have done but I figured I might as well get a direct opinion since I couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for. So I have a black Scion tC. I decided to finally get my windows tinted, and i'm going with the Formula One Tint, Pinnacle Series (Ceramic, highest quality film).

In AZ the law is, 35% on both driver and passenger windows, no tint on windshield, and any darkness you want on back quarter windows and rear window.

I'm not going to break the law, because i've been told my countless people "dude don't go illegal, cause the cops around here are total ______s about window tinting being too dark" Fill in the curse word haha.

So my options are as follows, which would you suggest would look best on my black tC, and somewhat uniform (I have OCD and wouldn't want it looking stupid, my car is my baby).

So...

35% all around...

35% on driver and passenger doors, 15% on quarter side windows, and 5% Limo on rear window...so its like, dark, darker, darkest, kind of uniform in a sense.

35% on driver and passenger door, and 15% on both side quarter windows and rear window.

35% on driver and passenger door, and 5% limo on both quarter side windows and rear window.

Thanks guys!

i have 15 on the doors and 5 on the back 3... Id get 35 on the doors and 15 on the other 3. Only because 35 and 5 would be a big contrast and look kinda silly from the inside.

I'd go with 35% on driver and passenger, 15% on both side quarters and rear.

Same laws as Texas. I did 35% on the doors, and 5% in the rear because of how many tall vehicles would blind me at night...plus the fact it's impossible for prying eyes to see through 5% tint.

25% on the rear 3 and 35% on the front 2, it looks pretty even from the outside until you get really close.
