Factory OEM Tint Shade %

Nice ride! Did you tint the tail lights and side markers or paint?

I contacted a few tint shops on ebay and all came back with 20% also. I believe your correct. My main concern is that the front would look oddly darker than the rear.

I think the front will look lighter than the rear because of the light that goes in by the windscreen.
When I was a teenager I had a ford explorer and tinted all the windows with the darkest one (don't remember the shade) and the windscreen with the lightest so both front and rear looked the same.

looks good, thanks for sharing your setup!

I was hoping to get it cut straight following the upper glass edge/roof line for a different look. I asked the shop if they could do this...

I actually would prefer the strip be cut straight across, I think it looks better but I didn't specify!
