What kind of window tinting?
Guys, I know that's an open ended question, probably been posted thousands of times, just looking for a quick recommendation on like the most nuanced window tinting. Not that big into pitch black windows, really just want a little darker glass to make the car look kind of black and silver as a color combo. Thanks for any response!

Mine is 30% all around with a black interior and looks pretty dark, especially the back because there's more seat and less light from the front. The front is also 20% and looks clear but filters UV out.
As far as type, definitely do a ceramic tint. Really helps reduce the amount of heat.

This is a very subjective question and people giving % opinions won't help you much. I hadn't settled on final tint until I found a good shop and went. They had plenty of examples in their parking lot to check out that helped me decide.

The only thing I would like to do differently is to have the front tint and rear tint look a little more uniform.. I assume that the factory glass comes with more tint than the front.
Anyone have suggestions on what percent I would need front and rear to have those tints match up (or come very close)?

The reason the front often looks lighter than the back is because of the interior and light from the front windshield/sunroof. Mine are 30% all around. I think the only way to accomplish having a very uniform look would be going *very* dark. But then you may have a visibility issue at night.

haha I didn't think you were. I'm at the legal limit for Ontario so could not go darker...not that i would. I like this level.
