Window tint

I am planning on getting my front two windows tinted tomarrow with 20% tint film. My truck has factory tint on the rear and side supercab windows. I want to get the closest match possible. Does anyone know what the factory tint transmission is, or do you know if this film will match up well? (by the way I am getting it professionally done)

Thumbs up Just tell them to match your back windows

That's what I did and the shop got them really close. I can't tell the difference between the two. If I'm not mistaken, the factory tint is 30% but I may be wrong. The local law enforcement officer told me our limit is 50% and mine was too dark but he let me go anyway.

The factory tint is 20%. I had my front's done at 20% to match and I think they look really good. Maybe a slight difference in the color, but shade is very close. Be aware of your state tinting laws, in MO, you cannot tint below 35%, so I am illegal. Luckly, I have not had any problems with the police!!
