tint matching

Anyone tint their front windows slightly darker than the factory rear tinting to offset the light that comes through the front windshield and lightens up the side window tint.

I like the way the factory tint looks on the rear windows, but don’t want the drive and passenger windows appearing lighter - or darker - than the rear tint.

What % is the factory rear tint?
Anyone have the magic percentage for the driver and passenger windows to have that look all around?

It’s an F82.

Thanks!

I should mention that tinting the front windshield is not an option.

Llumar Air 80 windshield tint blocks all the UV and a lot of the heat
It is clear as it's only 20 visible light rejection
I found that tinting the windshield made the biggest difference on cabin heat

Another fan of Air 80 for the front windshield. Been a lifesaver for desert summers.

I appreciate your input, but I’m asking about aesthetics of the driver and passenger windows. Anyone have thoughts on the original post?

I will look into the front windshield in the future.
