One of the questions you should ask yourself i you are leaning towards a dark tint is if you are planning to move or not - when I bought my car it had the TX legal limits on the rear windows and rear passenger windows with about 10% on the drivers side and passenger windows - looked gorgeous, but when I got to NH they made me strip it all off in order to pass the safety inspections.
Also, this chart has a state-by-state break down that you may find useful: http://www.windowtint.com/chart2.htm

From My experience, I got 5%.
It's great in summer in TX. With the sun, it looks just like a 20%.
But winter in winter and night, I have to role my windows down to back up. You can not see out of them. Sure it looks great, but not to wreck a $20k+ car.
I would stay legal with the state. My ticket was $330 just for some tint!

depends on where you live too. If you live in a city, most city cops have better things to do then pull you over for tint. They only do it when they suspect you of something or they have to meet their quota for the month. Generally cops in the city don't pull you over for small crap like that.
I moved to the suburbs and the cops will pull you over for everything. They are so bored. They have nothing else to do.

3% is Good, So when your carrying the fat chicks no one see's only thing your ride will be dropped 5 inches and your tires will be finish before you get to your destination.

i got a 35%llumar in my rear passenger to back. if you dont know what it looks like, find any SUVs (Explorer, Denali, Escalade, etc), they should have about the same percentage.
now if you want the limo tint in the back, imho, it doesnt look good if the driver's/shotgun's windows are not tinted or its up to you, you have tarmac Evo so i guess its okay. anyways, when i get tired on the driver's side having no tint, i will put 15% to kind of fade from the 35% making it look better, but so far im happy with it.
