Not breaking a law - I have an exemption.

IMO, tinting the fronts 20% is perfect to match the back. it is illegal in NJ, even though every does it.

I'm in Cape May County. I need to get my back window tinted for sure, and maybe the very top of my front window.

Typically a car is not classified as a "passenger vehicle" but yet is a vehicle that transports passengers as in a limo, bus, etc.

FWIW, I've never seen where the rear windows on a passenger car can be as dark as the owner wants. In Georgia, the rear of a pick-up truck or SUV can be as dark as the owner wants, but the front windows can't be any darker than 32%.
I've never met a cop who actually cares about window tint. I know if I'm ever worried about window tint, I just tell them to roll all the windows down and stick their hands out and walk up cautiously.

The definitions of the exempted vehicles can be found here.

Basically, trucks and minivans are exempt from the 35% restriction for all windows behind the driver.

Hope this clarifies things a little.
It does, I guess I'll just claim that malaria pills made my eyes extra sensitive to the sunlight, hopefully that'll let me go as dark as I want. You have 15%, how have you not been pulled over?

I guess I've been lucky or law enforcement around here has better things to do.

Be careful if you come to Georgia. Some cops will pull you over just for the tint.
