I have 35 on the sides and 20 in the back with MW & stone interior and you still can't tell the difference. Got mine with ceramic based film so no interference with nav or other electronics and no conflict with my radar/laser detector. Highly recommend the stuff. What a huge difference with interior temperature. 
Yeah I got 3m Ceramic Based as well. The tint was called color stable (i think) and it is a dark one.
LOL - No, I'm correct. You were way off on your numbers as the previous guy said. I can see right through those windows in that shot and it is in the shade. There is no way they are 15% and I highly doubt ANYONE has done 5% on their windshield.
I'm guessing you are 35% sides. (what I have)

I thought the sunroof came pretinted from the factory at around 15-20%. Mine was before the shrink wrap was taken off by the dealer upon delivery. I could be wrong though.

..when brought up in casual conversation, and you say windshield, people are going think WINDSHIELD - as in the front. Especially on this forum where many debates have been had about front windshield tinting. SO, when you said 5% front windshield, that's where the stupid comment comes in, as you can now imagine.

Mine's at the tint shop right now. Going 35% all around and already printed out a copy of the Illinois law to keep in my glove box to prove to the donut-eaters out there that I comply.
First car I've ever tinted, BTW. I have a graphite interior so I think 35% will be plenty dark for me.
To "Damn Dirty Ape" in So. Illinois, yes! I *did* ask them to tint up my sunroof as well (even though it comes tinted). I didn't specify percentage up there but my guess is it'll be 35% as well.
