Perhaps you can read what other people responded on this thread and look at pictures too? And maybe see what each percentage looks like in person. I've seen 20% in person and it looked perfect but been getting 50/50 feedback on visibility at night which is why I stuck with 35% on the sides and 20% on the back.

Plus, remember that the glass already is a little tinted. The person that did my tints checked the FRS and it said it was 70% already so I'm sure after getting the 35% on the sides, it's actually darker, if you know what I mean.

50% doesn't seem like it'd be too dark but I think you should see it in person to get a better feel of what you would prefer
