Tint

Does anyone know what % the tint is on the back windows from the factory? I was going to do 20% all the way around but if it is already 20 on the back that would be a waste unless I was going for a limo look.

It's 20%. I had 20% put on my two front doors and the front windshield and it matched really well.

Check the laws for legal tint in your state before you do this.
It might be worth it.

Each window says what the % is on it.

Here in Missouri the tint can't be less than 35% percent without Dr. Slip. However when I got my tint the gal said that many of the new cars come with some factory tinting in the windows. She said that many of their customers were getting tickets with the 35% so they only go to 45%. Lower I had to sign a waiver. I got the 20% it looks pretty close to factory tint outside looking in however I do notice my front side windows look darker from the inside looking out compared to my rear windows.
