20% is perfect, 35% is not dark enough

I have T15, and its perfect... :D

here's a pic of mine from a few years back... T35 + T5... Dark as all FARK!!!.. The tint farked up though, as you might be able to see in the pic. :( I left the front windows T35 though. It made a huge difference, as you could barely see the driver.

Some pics of my 20% full metal, it's quite reflective too so if you look in from outside and there is more light outside than inside it just looks like a mirror.

Here's lots of different angles:
