    Did the person that tinted your windows take off factory tint on the front? Because if yopu put on 20% it ends up being 15 i believe?

    It's in the glass - no way of taking anything off (same with the back) if you lay 20 over 70 factory its ~14% for the front which is darker than the back which is a true 20%

    There are also TONS of different tints of tints (not a typo ha) some can look more grey and some more orangeish and some even blue... talk to your tint guy about the brand he uses. Some types of tint still look way different than the stock rear windows even though theyre the same %

    Nope, Sunstoppers here in Charlotte did a good analysis of what was already there and made a good recommendation

    They are >=70%, it's the norm and considered not tinted. It's in the glass and they are all the same. Put a white piece of paper behind your window half way and you'll see it
