You can get your state regulations here

I had a 50% done and it makes a difference and it not too dark at night.
Mine is ceramic and I paid $300 last year. Cheaper film was $200

Mine's dark on the rear & back windows, the fronts are a bit lighter - don't know what the %'s are, it was done by the previous owner. Good thing it was a quality job!

My previous 5.0 with 35% vs. current 20%. I prefer 35%, if my car wouldn't come with tinted windows from dealer, I'd get it dome at 35% again.

Thanks guys I did find find the tint limits and being in super sunny Az. could go with a darker tint, though with the Ultimate I do have the retractable sun shade in the rear window

If you're concerned about heat rejection, I strongly recommend ceramic tint. I had Huper Optik 50% nano-ceramic tint on a previous car, and it had significantly better heat rejection capabilities than the dealer-installed 35% (brand unknown) that is currently on my Genesis.
