The closest match to a factory tint is 20%. I added 35% to the front of my girl's rig and it is slightly lighter than the rear. From inside, the front looks darker than the back. One drawback of dyed windows vs tint films.

And as for the trektop... most soft tops are a little darker than 20%. I swear my soft top is like 15%. You're better off asking Bestop via email to get an accurate response.

Not the best pic, I know. But this is 35% on the front 2, which is the legal limit here in NC. Like the others have said, the factory hard top is around 20%.
