Determing factory tint percent? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Ok, my rear windows/windshield came tinted from the factory, and I'd like the driver/passenger doors to match EXACTLY. Is there a way for a shop to determine this, or is there somewhere I can find out how much it came with from the factory? ie: 35% tint

sorry for the n00b posts today lol

most likely it is only 35. since that is the darkest legal in PA. i think

wow, just found out that it has 20% STOCK on the rear...no wonder people are getting pulled over for legal tint these days lol

thanks for the help!

if it comes from the factory, its legal...they just dont tint the front windows. if you ever see newer minivans and SUVs, they are all tinted on the back...well maybe not all, but all that ive seen

in our tint shop, it matches up perfectly to 18%.. in pa the legal limit is 35% all the way around the car.
Delaware its anything legal on the back, 70% (which is basically what it comes out as) legal on the front.
normally, if you just go to a tint shop and tell them you want it to match the back, they should know exactly what shade
