I'm thinking about 20% all around...would it be annoyingly dark when i drive, also, what about 20% or so in the back and 35% in the front sides...anyone happy or disappointed with their tints...pics???

I have 20% on the Hatch and 35% on the Driver & Passengers' Windows. I wanted to do 20% all the way around, but here in Cali, that's just easy pickins for a cop to pull you over. I like the fact that I did the side windows all the same. (35%) Too many times I see the Rear Windows super-dark and the Driver & Passengers' way lighter. It interupts the flow of the car IMHO. Anyways, here's some pix.

i plan on tinting my car soon. likely 20 for rear sides and back, and 40 for the front sides. looks very nice.

i have 14% on all the windows and sunroof minus the windshield. No problems whatsoever. In fact, when I have an SUV with HIDs on behind me, it helps because it blocks the glare.

what are the tint percentage options.. because I wouldnt mind going 15% in the backs and 30% in the front... If I go to a shop, what are the most common tint films they run?

tint percentage options are all boofo. None of them arent legit. There is either light, medium, and dark (35,20,5).

I suggest if your going to tint your windows get them tinted medium. Because your tinting your windows for a reason so go dark. There enough to see through during the day and dark enough not to see through at night. And if your gonna tint them dont do different tints on each window. It'll just look dumb. Smooth it all out and let all of them be the same percentage.
