Here in Florida it's almost a requirement if the car is going to spend any significant time outside. With the glass rear I'm lucky but I haven't done it yet (not a big deal in the winter months).

All of my cars have tint but I use a 35% grey tint that presents no problems at night. The amount of visible light the tint allows to pass is irrelevant. What's important is to filter the UV. All of the top line tint materials filter 99% of the UV so there's no need to do a "limo" tint.
