    You went 35% in the rear too? Too light.. my 25% feels light.

    On the sides, mines is 35%.. but I don't know if it's validated in any way. It feels about right overall, comfortable but still safe for me to clearly see.

    Please be careful here. Tint is rated in VLT ( visible light transmittance) so a 30% tint allows 30% of light to pass through. One more thing: from factory, windows on (hatchback) Prius are tinted ( not a film, but a glass itself) at ~ 80% VLT, therefore applying a 30% on top of the windows will result in 0.3 *0.8 = 0.24 or 24% visible light transmittance.

    Thanks,
    Alex
