I think it may be more of the 35%. Where can you order pre-cut window tint from?

Actually it's 20%, and the question is more like WHY would you order precut tint? It's well worth the very few extra dollars to have a shop put it in (perfect installation plus a lifetime garuntee.)

Probably will go to a shop.
Its the old "you get what you pay for".

I got a ticket for my tint being too dark so be careful. He measured the front and it was 11% and just for grins the back window was 16%. I actually got the ticket for not complying with the "reflective" requirements not the darkness.
20% is correct. However, to get a perfect match (which probably won't happen) you'll need to go and get it professionaly done. That quote for the front two windows may be true for cali, but you boyz iz gettin ripped! :reddevil: I see your in Baton Rouge, and I am sure its a lot cheaper than that here. When I had a sub contractor doing tint at my place, front two were usually $75 and that was with me gettin 30% of the take.
I personally have the factory 20% rear with another 20% sheet over it, effectively about 5%, and 20% on the front. You can have as dark as you want from the rear door back, and the front window at 20% in Georgia
Louisiana" Window Tint Requirements are as follows: windshield (all vehicles) - tint may not extend more than five inches (5") from the top of the windshield and may not be red or amber in color; front side windows (all vehicles) - must have at least forty (40) percent light transmission; rear side windows (passenger vehicles only) - must have at least twenty-five (25) percent light transmission; rearmost glass (passenger vehicles only) - must have at least twelve (12) percent light transmission
