    To the op: I'm goin for the exact same look 20% to match both front and rear. I'm havin trouble matching the rear tint the charcoal/ blackish look. My tint is charcoal greenish. If you don't mind what film do you have on. And I think if you go 50 % it probably will match the front since you said the rear is a tad light

    That's good custom service right there. I did notice the slight difference when I got it back, but I thought it would settle after a couple of days and be alright. That's what happened with my 06 and the windows matched just fine from the inside, but again my 06 was an access cab so the window space's smaller. :rolleyes:

    I feel the same way. After all, it looks pretty damn good dark. IMHO

    I can live with that. After all, the truck comes with the back two windows darker than the front two anyway. I think that looks more normal than the front two slight darker than the rear two.

    You have any pics of your truck with the said tint on (interior and exterior)?

    I went to a place called SunStoppers near Charlotte, NC. Good place and price for those near the area.

    To answer your question: The place uses 3M and nothing else. Hope this helps.
