    I tried that for a day, does it seem darker in front now? Mine did. And too dark for night driving. For me anyway.

    I don't know what kind of 3m but it didn't give it a green look, more of a grey. just 20% was to dark.

    I just had Llumar 20% (ATC Series) applied to my front 2 windows. I went with the dyed as it provided the closest match to the rears in terms of color. The metallic (Llumar ATR) had a slight silver reflection to it and ceramic (Llumar CTX) had slight blue reflection. According to the shop that tinted my windows the slight green hue is coming from the window not the film. They had a sizeable piece of glass to show me the film on.

    FWIW I can BARELY see the difference between the front and rear. Ill try and get a side shot in some decent light tomorrow.

    LOL ^^^^this

    I did 20% in the front to match the backs and it looks awesome. I took it to a local shop....much prefer to pay to have it done right with computer cut film. The cops in this area don't really seem to care that much unless its like 100% black. Then again my plates make most cops not even bother so I can't say.

    The 20% matched well from the outside looking in, but from the inside looking out, the front windows seemed to have a darker tint. 35% is noticeably lighter from the outside, but still looks good, and matches well from the inside looking out. Plus I can see my mirrors at night.

    LLumar 15% matched color wise to the back, although slightly darker. Not noticeable except looking out from inside.

    That is about what mine looked like after the 20% 3m but the fronts were darker on the inside. Just thought you might want to be aware of that possibility. Let us know what you end up with.

    Got the same thing on mine. Outside looks a hair darker not bad, just like in the pic. Inside looking out there a a little more difference. Doesn't matter to me. Looks good from the outside. :cool:
