Default Window tint?

I have the factory tinted windows on my truck and I want to tint the front windows the same as my rears. What light percentage should I go with that will match the rear factory tint?

If you want darker than 20 you can put 20% over the factory tint and 5% on the front side windows.

I don't really want to go darker then the rears are now, I just want the fronts to match. Now my front windows do have factory tint on them but it is VERY light. So if I put 20% over the light factory tint on the fronts it will match the rears? Thanks for all the info.

There is no factory tint on your side windows. 20% will match it up perfect

Yep, I can confirm. I have 20% on the front and it matches the factory tinted rears very close.

35% all around is legal but I hear that they don't really inforce the tint laws around here. I think I'm just going to do 20% on the front side windows.
