Factory window tint

Im looking at getting my front 2 windows tinted. I want them to match the back windows on my 2006 crew cab. Does anyone know what the factory tint is on the back windows? I searched the forum, but couldn't find the answer.

Yup, 20%. They also have an amber tint. So if you buy the Gila Charcoal or black tint it won't match on the inside, but you can't see any diff from the outside.

Let me get this right,
In order to get tint (for the front windows) to match the back windows of a supercrew.
It needs to be 20% and the color needs to be amber?

I will confirm the 20%.
I can't confirm the amber,I'm not 100% positive but it looks like smoke to me.

It looks amber to me when compared to the front tint I put on yesterday. The stuff I put on was the Gila $14 stuff, 20% from Autozone.
