20% is usually pretty close to factory match. I put 20 on my front windows and it's very close, but it actually looks like it may be a little lighter than the back and the tone isn't exactly the same.

I did 35% since that is what is legal here in my state. It was called carbon and was an upgraded type of tint, with lifetime warranty.

The color matches 100% but it is a little lighter. Especially since it's closer to the windshield as opposed to the smaller, tinted back window.

If if I had to do it over again I would have done 20%.

I did SunTek Carbon CXP. 35% on the front (legal in NC), and 18% rear and back windows and my guy told me 18% was what was already on. Also did my windshield in 80% with an 18% banner and 18% on the sunroof

Fellow Texans will chime in to what I am legal to have.

Great looking tints.

Edit: 25% is my limit. Pictures to follow.
