Default how dark of a tint?

I plan on tinting my car and want to do it as dark as possible. But people have been tellin me it will look retarded if you have the rear windows really dark and then the passenger windows not so dark. It make sense to me, so do any of you have any recommendations?

the car is a 96 civic hatch that is midori green. (avatar)

I think I have 30-35% all around, except for the front windshield of course. I think it flows well, but I have a dark colored car. Yours Im guessing is midori. I would advise against any tinting except maybe lightly on the back hatch and rear mini windows.

Whats the legal limit? I wouldn't have more than 15% difference between front and rear.

5% for the rears and the fronts are illegal, but my cousin has like a 15% or 20% on his camaro and has never been pulled over. Seems like tinting wont look good now from what you guys say.

Lol, who the hell cares what they say, if you think it looks good do it. I'd say go 20% all around.
