Hmm... Honestly, I think it's more of a physiological reasoning.

I'm a huge fan in uniformity - and when tint doesn't really match it drives me absolutely nuts.

To give you an example, this is the 3rd time I've tinted this Jeep to get it how I want because it drove me crazy.

Now, I do also drive an Audi S6 - which I tinted %30 all around, not %5, and it's so clean looking I wouldn't go %5.

On top of the uniformity, I kind of like being in the Jeep like a vault - maybe I have some mental process in me that likes the small spaces (however I have not had any violence in my past that would give me a PTSD reason for this, so just a theory.).

To counter the belief of dark tint; I don't smoke, drink, or text text while I drive. I don't do anything that one would think someone with dark tint needs so they can prevent viewing inside the cockpit - and half the year my doors are off.

Long winded paragraph, but yea... Go team!
I understand, that’s how I feel about TVs. Lol! No, I appreciate the input.

Don’t recall the percentage, but just the front two windows with the legal limit for MA, we have yearly inspection and they use a tint meter at the inspection. Not very dark and definitely much lighter than the rear windows.

Beats me as to what it is, as it was already on it when I bought it…

Got the tint put on today. Decided on 30 front, 15 rear/back. Happy with the exterior look of it, will see after a few days how I like it from the inside. Pretty close to what I've done on previous vehicles so I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with it.

I can’t stand non matching tint, so I did 20% front, even though NC inspections are a PITA. I’m not sure what 20% film they used, but it’s a perfect match to the rear.

What? The rear is 20%. I’ve heard of people going slightly darker on the front to match the rear because the windshield makes the tint look lighter.

What I think happened here is they used 20% film and a lot of 20% film actually measures 15% when tested.

15% ceramic on the fronts. Closest match to the rears that were metered.
