    I'm at 15% back and 20% front depending on the the angle you view you can and can't see who's in the front.
    I'm getting a darker tint redone to make the front darker so nobody can see the inside.
    It's completely illegal here to have any tint in the front but cops are "cool" here so I might as will go all out.

    lol...35% is all I would want on front windows...any darker than that you cant hardly see out the side at night. Not safe IMHO

    That's how i feel. I had bought a s2000 not long ago and I swear the seller had to have put on limo tint. I couldn't see crap at night and just the saw reflection of the lighted gauge cluster.

    I put on 30% ceramic and but i'm able to see out at night. I wouldn't go any lower than that. It's a close match to the rears

    I used to think that, when I was like 16. But even if you put 35% on a window that isn't smoked glass, it is still noticeably darker than it was, it offers UV protection from the sun's harmful rays and you're not going to get pulled over by the cops specifically for your tint. But they are talking about putting 35% on smoked glass, how is that a waste of time?

    I decided to stay base. No AL or Ceramic. I didn't like the extra color or sheen plus it wasn't worth the extra cost for me. Very pleased so far.

    But... during the day you look badass and mysterious lol
    Also at first it's a little hard to see at night but you get used to it and worst case you can just roll the windows down.

    I put 35 all around, the front is for sure lighter. 20 up front and 35 in the back would match pretty good

    35% is legal here also. Had the fronts only done in 35% and the match is very close to the factory tint IMO.

    My tint guy just eyes the tint to match the rear and does a great job at it.

    Good to know. I have a 2017 access cab. It’s silver so I don’t want to go too dark.
