Hey everyone ... I'm going to tint my front windows to match the back ... Does anyone know what the % is of the back windows tinted from the factory? Thanks

17% is the exact percentage for stock privacy glass. Tint shops carry 20% and you can't even tell a difference.

I got 3m 20% on my front windows and it looks good but is slightly off in color(more black and less reflective).

Still worth the money and no one would notice unless pointed out.

Here in CA it's illegal to get the fronts tinted, so I went lighter with 35% and really like it. Did just get my first fix it ticket after a couple years of having it on, last friday lol.
