I'd go 20% on the sides and go 35% on the back window.

i say go either 20% or 35% all around. having two different percented tints on the car looks stupid in my honest opinion. i myself have 20% all around on my gen2.

i personally have 35% all around.

someone on here has mentioned before that having 20% tints are darker is tacky because it ruins the looks of the car, i agree 100%.

35%= looks light in sunlight, on a cloudy day; kinda hard to see through

20%= hard to see through even in sunlight unless your looking directly from the side

5% you cant even see through no matter how hard u try unless, there is alot of light on the inside... just how i like it :) but i have 35% on my solara, and im about to take it off cause its wayyy too light and im worried about it sunfading the inside of my car.

15% all around looks good... personally i'm not a fan of having two different tint levels on a car. plus you can always go to eye doctor and get prescription tint (this is a must in states that don't allow tint) <- this is real I have it and have been pulled over 3 times for tint and zero tickets.
