    Practice. I've been running 5% on all my vehicles for 8 years. I roll down sometimes. But most of the time I'm good. I installed LEDs in my rear bumper to help back up.

    I believe 30%, but to match the fronts to the rear, you need to go 20% on the fronts.

    Technically you need to get 28.57% to match the back 20% because the front is already 70%. A true 20% over 70% will look darker in the front than the back.

    Really, the fronts are 70%. Didnt know that.

    Dudes that tint their fronts the same as the rear (30%) never seem to match, the fronts always look light due to the increased light on the fronts vs the rears..

    I'm all confused now, ha. Do I get 20% or 25% on the fronts to match the rears ( I dont plan on tinting the rears).
