I have 5% all around on my Caprice and have no troubles seeing, day or night.
I have 5% on the front doors and 5 on top of the factory 25% on the rest of the rear windows on my Yukon, which equates to 1%. Again, no visibility issues day or night.
On my truck I have 5% on the doors and 2 layers of 5% on the back window (0.25%). During the day, no issues. At night I have to roll the windows down if I need to back up, but even back when the truck was a daily driver, I never had any troubles with it.

If you're going from little to no tint to being blacked out, it'll take you a week or so to get totally used to and comfortable with the dark shades, but once you get used to it you'll be glad you went with it.

I just got mine done a few weeks ago. I got 20 on the sides and 5 on the back. It did take me a little time to get used to it. THe sides haven't been any problem at all, but since the back is so dark, it acts like a mirror. When I check the rearview, I can see my dash pretty well and it makes it harder to see behind me. BAcking up at night is alright for the most part, but you just have to be more careful. I usually have my back glass open anyway, so it don't make a lot of difference.

I definately recommend 20 on the sides. I think if I went back and did it again, I only do 20 on the back, but that's just my opinion.

Yeah, 20 will be safe for sure. I've gotten used to the 5 in the back now, but if you're worried about at night, just go with the 20. It will still look sweet.
