I went with 30% all around, pretty happy with the results. I noticed with the dark interior of the FRS the tint looks almost like it could pass as 15% at night.

I'll take a few shots tomorrow as I just got back not too long ago and it's already past midnight!

That is unless they carry a bunch of different tint levels to account for what the windows come from the factory. Maine state law says 35%, first tint shop actually had me at 28%. Now mine are closer to the 35% that they are supposed to be.

Good thing there isn't a law on a certain % in Ontario, Canada.

That doesn't look like Canada at all. Where's the massive sheet of ice and woolly mammoths walking around?
