35% or 20% tint

I plan to tint the front driver and passenger windows on my CC when it arrives. What is the better match to the rear windows, 20% o 35%? tks

Agreed

also if you tint all the way around your back windows will read 5%

20% in the front is very close to the factory rear windows, that's what I had done

X2 on 20%, I just did it today and it is very close to the factory tint. 35% here in the communist state of california will get you a ticket. Even 20% is pushing it.
Here are two pictures, but it is a 16.

In the communist state of VA it is 50% on the front windows and I have always done 35%. Been ticketed about 7 times over the last 20 years because of this but since the SD wont be a DD I am going 20%. FTW!

35% is lighter than 20%. The percentage is light admittance. 5% is limo tint. From inside the truck, 35% is barely noticable.

I might have misunderstood the installers explanation of the tint percent. I certainly don't know anything about it, I trusted his knowledge. I know that I just chose the one closets to legal and still trying to match the back window. i'm happy with it, I hope the police are as well.
