Default Matching Window Tint

I have an '05 LX-470 in Blizzard White, I want to match the window tint for the front windows to the factory rear tint.

Does anyone know what shade, percentage, color and or brand of high performance tint matches?

Thanks,

Rodney

I just had the front windows tinted on my '05 and they used "TG 21%". It looks perfect, I'll post pics tomorrow.

Hope it helps

Ben

Let us know in details about the tint. Mine are tinted but they do not match exactly. We like to change it.

Thanks

Default Thought I would dig this up.

I want to match the rear tint on my 2000 LX. I have the Golden Pearl (white basically). The tint is almost gold in color. Any ideas on matching color or darkening the back ones some more to get the front into a matching color? Just thought I would try.

Limo tints are in the 5% territory, and many rear window tints range from 5-20%. I'd hazard a guess that the rear privacy glass is probably no darker than 20%, so that'd be my guess for tint level (20%). But is tinting front windows legal in your state?
