I have 35% on the sides, 1% on the rear and a 10% windshield strip. I think I'm going to get 50% on the whole windshield. Not sure though.

Get 35%....I had 20% no problem, just got to get use to it. It is a lot nicer driving at night (other cars headlight) and in the day as you could imagine.

35% on my windshield would get me pulled over in 2 seconds around here. i don't think the cops will notice 50% really.

I've got 5% all around with an eyebrow on the windshield. 5 years and never had any trouble, until I met one a$$hole who gave me crap! I had the front windows down, but was screwed on the windshield, $180 ticket. Inspection time this year, the guy rolled them up, but didn't say anything.

I had the dark strip on my truck too. I got it removed quick, along with the double 5% all around that was starting to look bad.

edit: I have 35% on the sides and 20% on the back window now.
