Default Tinted windows

For those with soft tops that are tinted, what % did you tint the front glass to match the rear plastic windows

20% matches pretty well but may be darker than legal in your state?? Mine are 25% and look pretty good IMO...

I believe the soft top windows are around 35%. I didn't tint the front windows tho because I rarely have my doors on.

Mine are 20% 3m. The darkness is the same but it's more gray looking out. From outside it looks perfect.
