    Technically, Toyota doesn’t actually tint. It’s a dark colored glass. You could take it to a tint shop to see what the approximate shade would be. Then you could get it all tinted in shades so they all match up.

    if your a masshole you can only go 35% on front windows wich is lighter than the rear anyway so you cant match exactly.:(

    I measured mine at 30%.
    20% on the front windows looks damn close to the back though, maybe due to the combined tint of the back glass and rear passenger windows.

    Tint guys are normally good at what they do, eyeballing it works for them. For others they’ll put thier sample sectional next to it and recommend what they think matches, then let you decide. Since it’s the back, if the sides are off just a tad, it won’t be noticeable..hence why some say 20% and others here are saying 30%.

    Most shops should be able to match it pretty easily. Mine is 20% I believe

    They should have a meter to put on it at the tint shop.

    I strongly recommend paying a little extra for the ceramic tint. It really keeps the heat out.

    I put 25% on my front and 18% on my rear over the stock privacy glass. I like how it turned out. I reccomend putting it on the back too at whatever percent you decide. Just because the privacy glass doesn’t block any UV so your going to get sun damage over time. My .02. Oh and I was told the back is about 25%.

    Yeah. Get ceramic for UV protection and keep the dash 303’d.
