I've had 15% on everything but the front for about 2 weeks now... it looks awesome, but I'm a bit paranoid that I'm going to get called on it, since 30% is the limit here...

Night is the easiest to see out of 5% because no matter how dark your windows are...you can't miss other car's headlights. Don't worry about visibility, you will get used to it so fast, you won't even be able to tell the difference. My tc has 5% on the back 3, 50% on the front side two and a 5% front strip.
you may be able to see the headlights at night but what about pedestrians? i had 5% on my old car and i almost ran some people over once backing out a driveway at night. its just too dark to be safe even if it looks cool. i got 35% all the way around on my whip now and i think its perfect. blocks the sun well during the day, still looks good, can still see at night, and the best part is cops dont harass me eventho legal limit in this state looks like seran wrap (75%). as long as they can still see you they seem to ignore it.

5% just doesnt seem to be an issue for me, I can see just fine. This is the first time I've tinted my windows 5% on any car I've owned.
