15% is closer than 20%, like thumper said the windshield lets in light and will make 20 look noticeably lighter. Just get 15%

There is a bit of variation between tint brands also. Some 20 percent are about the same as some 15 percent films. Keep that in mind.

I would just go with 15 though.

I have 5% in the back, and 15 on the fronts. I like it because it keeps the truck alot cooler in the texas summer heat, and also allows me to put stuff in the back and keep it somewhat hidden.

15, it may be a bit darker inside but outside it matches perfect, or do 20 and tint 25% of the windshield with limo

Id also consider tinting the rear sides and back glass there way to lite for my taste then do 15% on the front, just by darkening the rear will make a huge difference. I put 20% on rear and back windows
