Not sure what tint they are but here's some pics. Definitely a better look than the clear ones.

Most tinted plastic windows advertise as 31% to comply with various state regulations. I did 20% on my front windows (12% measured) and they 'seem' to match the factory windows.

Those look really dark, the rear. Where did you buy them?

Man I run 2 layers of 5 on my hard top and doors with a tinted winshield... I'm not sure I could stand no tint on the top.

In Kentucky it's 20% on the back which is what my hard top came with and 35% on the front. That's what is legal. I've had a cop do the license test where they put your license behind the window and If they can see it then its fine. And you can see your license behind 20%.

I had 20 on the back and 35 on the front mainly because I drive a lot of back country road and 20 gets kinda annoying looking out of at night. Just my preference.
