Default Opinion on Tint

I have an 87 Laredo and live in NC. Here the tint must be 35% on front doors but can be whatever everywhere else. I wanted to see what ya'll think of tinting this way:

Front Doors 35%
Back Doors 20%
Back Windows 5%
Gate Window 20%

I figured that having the side back windows at 5% and the gate at 20% would give a darker look but allow good vision out the back.

Would the 35-20-5 down the side of the vehicle look odd?
Would it be best to just go 20% on all windows except the front?

I don't want it extremely dark but the 35% all around that I have now just isn't cutting it.

Thanks for your opinions!

Check my build thread pics out. Forgt what level my tints are. Sides are like 0%-5% back is probably 5%. Diver and passenger are about 35%. I like it but if you don't keep em clean it becomes a pain to see through at night. I wouldn't change em for the world

I have 5% on the rear doors and all around the back, and 35% on the front windows. The rears were tinted over the factory tinted glass, so they're super dark and can be hard to see out of sometimes, but I love the look.

I believe mines 20% all around. Looks good but I miss having full 5% on my old ride

I like my 20% all around.(don't mind my poser pic, only one that shows the tint good). My friend had 5% and at night, especially wheeling, you can't see **** driving. It's nice to have though! Couldn't see in at all during the day
