Default Shaving Badges and Tinting Windows

Two Questions:
1) What is the best way to shave the badges on an '04 F150? And if there is any residue left over, what should I use to remove it?

2) What is factory tint on the rear windows? I was thinking like 20%, I would just like to now, I want my front ones matched to the rears.

Thanks

The badges usually have locating pins with holes where they go, so removing them will leave holes exposed. I'm not sure with your particular year though. They are best welded shut, then smoothed and repainted.

I just had my front windows tinted in 15% and it matches the rear side windows perfectly and also matches my shell windows as well.
