You DO know that would be illegal in CA, right?

For those who live in areas where the laws on window tinting are a bit more relaxed, this topic, like many others, has already been discussed here at CL:

Any decent tint shop should be able to match it. But I had 15% put on all the windows so now my front are 15% and the back are extra dark. I also had 5% put on the sunroof.

I had limo dark 5%? in my wife's RX350 back 5 windows and 70% in the front two. The back windows are very dark and somehow hard to see at night. My wife did complained in the beginning but she got used to it now. Kids in the back seems to enjoy to dark tints, along with remote start, Covercraft UVS100 for the windshield for those hot California days.

I have Suntek Carbon35 on the front of mine and it looks perfect to me. It is just slightly lighter than the rears but it is the same color. I got this done in FL but live in CA now so I am probably breaking the law Had it done 4 plus years ago and still looks new.

20% max. I used 35%. 20% is illegal here in GA but they are so close you can hardly tell. Also your interior color will play a role, lighter color will dampen the look. If you have dark interior, you are asking for a ticket.
