well most places 35% is as dark as u can go. ive got 20% here in MD and 35% is the law. just depends. i dont think 35% is worth the money.

^ 3 layers, that's brave man.

I've always liked 5% on the back windows and 20% on the front.
But if you want to play it safe get 5% back and 35% front (you wont get any fix-it tickets with this setup).

best check to see tinting laws at your state first though.

yeah.. great advice. Just call around until you find the cheapest desperate guy and go THERE. I'm sure you'll get exactly what you paid for too.

Price should be like way down the line in priorities. Install Quality, Written FACTORY warranty paperwork, etc etc etc etc, Price.
