With that being said I went with the 3m Crystalline 30% all around. I don't have pics but I will get some. At night it looks blacked out unless there is a light on in the car. During the day its pretty visible, just think legal 35% tint.
The advantage comes in with the heat rejection and UV protection. The crystalline tint has dropped the interior temps substantially. Perfect visibility out all windows at night. Superb visibility during the day. I highly reccomened it if your going for function and looks.
If your just tinting it for the privacy + heat get whatever tint. But I think the 20% all around (including front) is asking to get a ticket. Remember when you tint the windshield it makes it much darker all around.
Since the legal is 70% id say the best combo is 35% with 50% or even 70% windshield. Any darker than that and it is going to very noticeable.

I'm going for both look and functionality. Completely un-tinted looks "naked" to me and it would be nice if the interior didn't feel like an oven as well as having some privacy!
Is "Crystalline tint" something extra they add into the tint? Like do they have normal 3M and 3M Crystalline? I'm leaning towards my second option: 35% on the sides and 20% on the back. Windshield untouched.
