Anyone found a matching window tint film yet? (to match the factory tint)

You wil not get an exact match, but close to it.
I went to an after-market accessory and tinting shop and was quoted $60 for the two front windows(driver, front passenger). With the titanium mirrored back and rear windows, there is no need to tint them. The back windows spec out at 28% (transmission of visible light) using a light meter. The fronts are 70%. Using a 35% film, the readings should be almost the same (mine came in at 27%). You can have the shop cut off a small piece of film, lay it on the window, then take a meter reading. This way you'll know what to expect BEFORE they actually install the film.
This is what other people have used: LLumar window film. Platinum Plus (TM) PP35-4960-2631474 [roll#] Installed by: Shade Shop 888 918-8468

ON my last RX I tried to get a commercial green mirror tint but it didnt match. A chrome mirror tint I used, it worked because the front windows have a green tint to them it was almost was a perfect match. The front were a little darker than the back so I ended up doing the whole car. When it was done the truck looked great...
