Default tint from the inside

Hi tintspecialists. I'm planning to tint my is250sport and i was thinking to go with 25% or 20% for the rear sidewindows and 20% for the rear.Is this not to dark from the inside of the car? Doesn't it disturb the kids on the backseats.Will i be able to see enough through rearmirror? Greetings from Belgium

20% is fine, it obviously will be darker, but you'll easily adjust to it

I have always used 30% full windshield and 5% for all the other windows and it works pretty good, even for driving at night. If you're in a area where it's pitch black, you might have a little difficulty backing up a bit, but if it gets pretty bad (which in my case hasn't), you can always lower the side windows and you should not have any problems.

20% isnt that dark from the inside. here in the US SUV's come factory tinted 18%. they use this because it is dark but not too dark to see out of at night. 20% is a little lighter so you should be fine.
