    actually the pic makes it looks like a larger difference from the inside than what you really see.

    you probably have smoked privacy glass...however...its still not mirrored

    pay the extra for the good tint up front and you'll be fine

    Yes it is 40%, actually like 43%. Windshield tint is legal here down to 40%.
    Also due to my license plate I can have any % tint I want on the back, in my case any % I want on the rear window since I only have two doors. I'm debating whether to go with 20% or 5% on it.
