stock window tint?

hey guys, i want to tint the windows on my 06 f-250 supercab (gallery).
the problem is that im not into the "limo" tint that all the guys are into lately. i want my truck to look like it came with privacy glass from the factory. so, does anyone know what percent the factory tints superduty's at??? also i was quoted $150 with the sliding rear window. i was expecting to pay alot more, does this seem right?
thanks alot
keep it ford

i think the back glass maybe be 35%?

i had the factory tint on my 2004, seemed to me 35%

i just got my 2006 windows tinted today, it costs $145 to tint all the windows, supercab windows and back are 5% and the side and window strip is 35%

I did my front windows and at 35% they are lighter than my back windows on a crew cab. So I would guess the factory is about 20%. My fronts were 40.00 and I didnt do the back.

The factory glass tinting is 20%. I have a local tint shop that has been tinting for years and do excellent work. I have brought all of my cars to them and in every case, they used the 20% to match the factory tinting. You will love it. Gives the truck a better look and will keep the interior a few degrees cooler.
