I did 70% all around. In retrospect should have done 70% front, 50% sides and 70% back. These are my preferences. Others have gone darker but keep in mind the state laws. My cost was about a thou but depends on the area

I went to Elite Window Tinting in Portland Oregon, original price quote:
All 4 side and rear windows, XPEL PRIME XR-PLUS 98% HEAT REJECTION: $629
Windshield, XPEL PRIME XR-PLUS 98% HEAT REJECTION: $399
I went with 55% on the windshield and 15% uniform which put 15% on the front two side windows and 45% on the rear.
Here are some photos of what this level of tint looks like for reference:
55% windshield:
On a very cloudy and rainy day, here is what it looks like while looking out the windshield with the 55% tint installed:
Compared to standing outside the car:
Here is what it looks like while looking out the windshield at night with the 55% tint:
On a very cloudy rainy day, here is what it looks like while looking out the side front windows with 15% tint:
Compared to standing outside of the car:
15% uniform and 55% windshield view from outside:

I did XPEL XR+ on all.
Windshield: 70% because it's the lightest available
Front Two Side Windows: 20% because I had 30% and it was still too light with the white exterior and white interior
Rear Two Side Windows & Rear Hatch: 70% because the rear hatch was already hard to see through in the daytime with no tint on it.
The front two sides are still a bit darker than the rear two but it still looks great.

Llumar IRX - 15% all 4 side windows and rear window (one-piece) - $700
3M Crystalline - 70% windshield - $325
I want to apologize in advance because the iPhone pics aren't able to show the accuracy of the tint due to its limited dynamic range. The front and rear windows are not this dark IRL even with my black interior.

I had my local Xpel dealer do the top line Xpel+ ceramic tint on the two front doors. I just told them to match the factory tint on the rear doors and they nailed it. I think it was right around $150 for the two doors with a lifetime warranty.
