If you look at threads from the past week or so, you'll see that I had the same dilemma last Thursday. I went with 20%, and as long as the cops continue to leave me alone...I'd say it's the way to go. It's light enough that on a bright day, you can see right through both windows to the other side of the car. Yet if you look at it at an angle it looks pitch black. And at night you have to get right up to the car and strain to make out what's inside, but when you're driving it's not too dark to see out at all.
