For me, I like the added security darker tint provides, as well as the fact that it better protects the interior and keeps it cooler than lighter tint. I work 10 hour days and my parking lot at work has exactly 0 shade. I park in such a way that the front of the car (windshield) faces the sun in the morning when it's cooler, and the back (where all windows are tinted) faces the sun in the afternoon, when it's the hottest.

As the previous post says, darker tint does make it harder to peer in and see if you left your cell phone, wallet or anything else in, which also makes it harder for passers by to see what they might want to break in and steal.
I probably would have gone darker if I wasnt paranoid Id get pulled over. Too bad Im gettin pulled over anyway...

But I dont regret the 35%, yet.
