Default Windshield Tint

Anyone around here got windshield tint before and if so what were your experiences?

I am thinking about doing a full windshield tint in either 50% or 70%. In photos 50% looks dark as fuuuck with all the other windows being at 20 or so but I am not sure if that is how it looks in real life. 70 looks good but some people say they would have liked it a bit darker some say it is perfect.
I am not worried about the vision inside out as I know that this will be easy to see but I don't want to constantly be getting pulled over hassled. If anyone has any thoughts on 50 vs 70 let me know or even some pictures as I love looking at it. I was leaning towards 50 but then today changed my mind and started leaning towards 70....

Oh as a sidenote, I currently have a 30% brow that sits on the AS-1 line, my front two windows are 30% and the rears are all 17% over the factory stuff. I think I may redo the brow and the front windows and drop the fronts down to 20 and then do the brow maybe an inch or two below the AS-1 line and do it darker as well.

Just my thoughts

I have done 50% on everything I own after I discovered how much it helped with the MR2 interior temp and AC efficiency

So far it hasn't been an issue. Tahoe is 50/30/20 and I can see fine imo

Pics? It isn't the looking out I'm worried about it is just how much does it hinder Old Smokey from looking in....

What are your other windows at? Would you say it looks darker in the photo than in person or is it pretty true to form?
