What tint % should I go for?

Getting a tint done this week and really not sure what to go for. Here's my car:

Ideally I'd love to get a light 35% all round but don't want hassle from the gardai over it. I've a full year until the NCT is due so I was thinking maybe get 35% rear/back and 50% front to reduce any chance of being pulled over for the fronts. It won't look as good as the full 35% though. Other choice is just the rear/back done in 35% or 50% all round. Or even 50% on all side windows and 35% back windscreen.

Would love to hear some feedback so:

Option A: 35% all round
Option B: 50% all round
Option C: 35% rear/back only
Option

50% front and 35% rear/back
Option E: 50% all 4 side windows with 35% back windscreen
Option F: No tint

Not a fan of tints at all and it looks like you have factory spec slight tints anyway, the car looks great as it is, no need for tints unless its for security reasons, but I doubt your going to be holding tools or leaving expensive parts in the back of that

Cheers for the input. I'm not a fan of excessively tinted windows but I think a nice light tint really suits and finishes the car in this colour:

My car came factory tinted. If I could remove the tint I would.

Just thought I'd update this since I managed to photoshop some tints onto the car at the weekend:

I think the light tint really suits the car but really put off by the nct rules and risk of being stopped

Oops see you got sorted

Keep in mind that most cars factory windows already have a 25-30% tint these days meaning you can only get a 5-10% tint before you are into bother with the nct.
