"For cars, there are four main grades of glass tinting, indicating how much light is allowed to pass through. Fifty percent tint allows half of the light to pass through, which is still more than enough for full visibility. Thirty percent is much darker, but still allows visibility. Twenty percent makes the window difficult to see through on either side, but shapes can still be seen fairly clearly. Five percent is the darkest tint available, and is also known as limo tint. At a 5% tint, visibility from the high-light side, usually the outside, is virtually none, while those on the low-light side can see the outside with relative clarity."

If you don't want people lookin in, might as well just get some spray paint and paint the window black...I'm sure NO ONE will see inside after that...It might be hard for you to see outside too though

The ceramic tinting is sweet, but cost more. I ended up doing 20% on the hatch, 30% on the quarter windows, 50% on the sides, and the ceramic which is 60%-65% on the windshield.
