its hard to match them i tried , best way to add more tind above the factory then u can match them .
some of them like my 2001 has mixd tint its like mirror you can see your face its hard to make the exactly color in the front windows .
this was the best idea to make them match , tried many other things by mixing 2 type of tint to make them match but don't waste your time and money.
see mine its just the exactly same (but its dark you can use lighter tint )
good luck

Yes, OEM tint is right around 20%.

I used 27% up front on mine and you can hardly tell the difference. I mean, who's really going to notice?
