Window tint

What is the percentage of window tint that comes factory on our trucks? I would like to darken the back window to mach the sides, and tint the fronts to match the rears. I'm finding pre-cut 3m tint on ebay for $25, I just need to know what number to get.

Think its 20 percent. Thats what my jeep was and tinted the fronts the same and matched close enough you couldnt tell unless looked real close from inside out.

Pretty sure it is 20% and like jp said, after it is on you will not notice a difference.

3rd on the 20% but remember that actual color will vary tints tend to be more blueish from the inside,but the outside will match.

most tint shops will know what to do to match it.

Mine were done at 20% and match perfectly. Try and get the lifetime tint. It has less blue to it IMO

I had my front windows done to 20% and my rear/rear sides done to 5%. The factory rear side tint is 20%.

I had the tint shop put "limo" tint on the rear, Left the factory rear door windows alone and hade the front door glass matched to the rear doors (didn't bother to ask what % the tint was) and had a windshield band installed. You can see the tint in my gallery.
