    I was thinking to tint the back window so it will be around 15-18% and then to match the fronts with the stock back with like 30%. Since the back will be darker then it will make the stock back windows darker as well. It's just my theory but I think will be good match.. maybe not..

    I think you will be happy with just the 2 fronts. I got mine done for $80 + tax at Alta Mere. You can always get the back done later if you aren't happy.
    Don't over think this or you are going to end up with 3 different tints on your vehicle (fronts, rears, back).

    I did 35% on the windshield and 15% everywhere else. It's pretty dark for sure.

    wow, they don't even pull people over around here for expired tags, no license plates AT ALL, speeding, running stop lights/signs, etc it's the Wild Wild West!

    If you think your local LEOs won't bust your chops, look at going 5% in the back 3 windows. The only one (rear) you really look out of is the back, and even then the camera has a much better vantage point.

    These window tint threads always remind me of the Blues Bothers.

    Elwood Blues: It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark and we’re wearing sunglasses.
    Jake Blues: Hit it!

    Does the sun never go down where you guys live?

    This is just what I did. 5%rear, 15%front. My last taco was the same with no issues and I am in VA every day. When I was pulled over in MD, they never mentioned tint, they were more concerned with my speed.
