Depends on your state if its legal to do tint all around.

I like to have my tint match all around as some people like to have limo tint in the back and lighter up front

I've got 1% on the rear and 3% up front. I love how it keeps all of the heat out on hot days.

I recommend 5% all around. If you have trouble seeing at night or live in a poorly lit area, 15% or 20% all around with 40% on the entire front windshield should be good.

20% all around looks real clean and no cops have pulled me over yet living in Los angeles it get pretty hot and the tint keeps it cool as well as makes the car look wayyy clean. It really depends on what color your SC is....

well in MD 35% is legal, but if a cop is having a bad day, they will still give you a repair order to have 'em taken off. i had 30% on my maxima and the cop gave me a R.O and tickected me for each window that was tinted $55 ea OUCH
