Default Stock tint %?
I have a ccsb Z71. The back window and rear side windows are tinted and I want to match the front. The stock tint is around 20% is what I've been told.

pretty sure my 05 ext cab had 12% on the rear glass, and 18% on the ext cab windows stock.
i put 5% in front, 20% back and rear and it matched

10-4 I would like to have it that dark, but as many times a year I am backing a boat in the water at 4 in the morning, 5% is kind of a pain. That's what was on my last truck and it was a reg cab.

I hear you. I can't wait to get my front windows done. Drives me nuts driving around without it done after having it on my old truck for so long.
