    Approximately 32% is what my tint guy said. I just went 15% all round.

    If you go to a halfway decent tint shop they should be able to match the rear to the front. Don't hold back though, limo tint all the way or bust.

    Just be aware of the laws where you live. I've been pulled over in my previous vehicle for having too much tint on the front windows...
    I'm in California by the way

    Anything between 20 and 30 and it'll match pretty closely. I did 20 and it looks great

    Mine is not dark enough at all!! I think I am going to go with 15% on the front and 5% on the rear, I had 5% all around on my EcoDiesel and loved it during the day but caught myself rolling down the windows at night getting on the freeway.

    Luckily trucks & SUVs arent affected as much as cars. Under the new law a truck or SUV can still have the back side windows and the back window tinted as dark as you want. Just not the front ones.

    For cars, they cant have any tint any more.

    I had my front windows tinted the max legal 35% tint here in NV, and they match the rears really well.

    Is window tint really such a menace to society? I understand the laws to a degree, but ALL tint being illegal seems ridiculous.
