I think it looks 'incomplete', if that makes sense, with super dark side windows but nothing to match on the wind shield.

I really like 20% all around. It is not TOO dark so that maneuvering at night is not hazardous. I live in neighboring TN which also has the 35% rule and have had tint ranging from 5% to 20% on every car I have owned since 1994 and never had an issue with police. I would think Georgia would be similar in enforcement of tint.

Living in Vancouver, BC, Canada we have pretty strict tint laws here. You are not allowed to tint your front side windows at all past the driver's shoulder. The rears can be as dark as you'd like and the very front windscreen must be stock. That said, alot of people do just the back three which I think is ghetto. Some other people do the fronts but they do get hassled by the cops. What I want to do is a very light 50% on all 5 windows. Looks light enough to look like factory tint yet dark enough to look nice especially at night.
My philosophy for tinting ? Either all windows or nothing.
I'll post some pics once I get mine done on the 18th of this month.

If you go with 5% tints, I recomend that you tint your whole front windshield because the amount of glare that it produces during the day is unbearable. I do all my cars with 5% and a 55% full front.

If your car has black interior, go with 35% (Legal), it will appear darker than a car without black interior. If you have tan interior, you may want to opt for 20% Percent but keep in mind, you will have law enforcement officials paying attention to your car.
