Yes, very dark...

20% would be as dark as the factory tinted windows. I'm not sure that's a good idea, given that one has to clearly see the outside rearview mirrors.

Is it legal in CT?...

Front window tinting is not legal in BC, which is why I went with a 50% tint. If you have a dark interior (e.g. charcoal), it will make things seem even darker.

Just something to keep in mind [:)]

35% totally legal in CT on all windows, except the windscreen of course!
