Fronts are 70% transmission and rears are 16%.
Shark hit the nail on the head! The closest tint to get the fronts to match the rears at 16% would be to have 20% put on the fronts. Thus giving you 14% tint on the fronts and leaving the rears at factory 16%.

FYI - go to llumar.com and click on automotive section. There is a link there for the different state laws for tint.

I'm going to agree with the 20%... that's what i have and it is very close to the back. I haven't had any trouble with the cops yet. I have also gotten pulled over on Alligator Alley for tint on my old car and it wasn't even illegal at the time! I'm not planning any trips to the west coast of florida anytime soon... 20% is technically illegal

You put 15% on the front? Did you leave your rears factory 16%? If so your fronts are 10.5%.

Your front is 70% factory, rear is 16%.

If you put 15 on front it would net 10.5%, 20% on front would net 14%.

If you put 15% on rear it would net 2.4%, if you put 20 on rear it would net 3.2%.

15% on fronts would make it almost 6% darker than factory rears. 20% is a closer match for the fronts to match the rear!
