    legal is 70% of light passing threw fronts and back/rear window i can get 0%
    thinking maybe 20% in both back windows and rear window 50% up front

    is that 20% over the factory rear? looks slightly darker then the front

    Yeah, I think so.
    I think legal here is 35%, but as long as you aren't being stupid or tint super dark, police usually don't care.

    If the rear window facing the bed already has factory tint i'd be hesitant to make it any darker. Could become a bit*ch to see out of at night..

    I haven't had any issues with mine, but one of my previous vehicles was tinted significantly darker- I can attest that it is a real pain in the ass when it is too dark.
    Having the reverse cam is helpful too though.

    I live in the south, so tinting here is pretty necessary to try to keep the heat out.
    Not sure what temps are like there, but if you can find someone doing ceramic tint, it is worth the extra money.

    If your hope is to keep heat out, yeah. As far as I know, ceramic tint does the best. I had the guy put a heat gun behind regular tint and ceramic tint- ceramic was probably 75% cooler.
    When you say reflective, are you talking about mirror tint? I am not really familiar with reflective tint. I usually don't want the tint to be shiny- for my personal aesthetic preferences.
