Default what is a good % tint to buy?

Ok, so i want to protect my interior from fading, and i also want it to reduce some heat.

But mind you, i don't want anything to dark, i'd like people to still be able to see into my windows and se my seats and such.

I think my buddy has 35% and i think that is to dark... any suggestions?

35% too dark? i had that on the GSR and i thought it was perfect - not too dark to look gangsta, not too light to look stupid.

personally, i think as dark as is legal would be best. I think my friend had 35% on his saab, and it looked pretty good. I'd like to get a tint job for the volvo, but I don't think I can afford it now.
