Depending on who you ask, the backs are 15% or 20%. My understanding is that it's 20%. I got my fronts done legal, at 35% with Huper Optik. They look good, and match color-wise, but depending on the light and background they sometimes look much lighter than the backs.

I tinted my front 15% and it matches perfectly with the stock rear tint. Sorry don't have a pic right now.

I like the looks of the 20%, but at the largest tint shop around here, the sales gal told me that because all non factory tint is illegal in Califorina, most likely I will get a ticket (around $125) and have to remove it. She said she has never had to remove 35% tint and after I had that installed (ceramic type), I can honestly say it looks great. Better yet, the heat reduction is unbelievable. I also has a different type of tint specifically made for limited glass installed on my moon roof. Now I can enjoy the view without baking from the sun. That was money well spent.

I'm getting my front 2 windows done for $40 plus tax. Back doors and rear window already had the tint when I bought my truck. I'm thinking on getting 35%.

My fronts are 35% with a 5% brow. A little lighter but hopefully the pic helps you decide.

Hopefully going to get my fronts done soon. I'm going legal so 25%, here in Texas. It's also 25% in Montana, which is where I'm planning on moving soon.

*Edit, I'll post pics when it gets done.
