Default Stock tint?

Is the stock tint on the 10 @ 18, 20 or 22%.. I put on 22% on the front windows and it looks lighter than the back. The shop said it would take about a month to dry out and darken. I have had many full tint jobs on vehicles and don't remember them darkening.. just wondering what most of you have had installed on the front to match?

stock for the back doors of my 10 crew is 18%, just had my fronts tinted yesterday and he checked those so that he could get it close. I can't tell the difference between 20 on the front and 18 on the rears stock

The rear factory tint is 15% and the maximum allowed in all states. I had 10% put on my windows even over the rear.

20% is close enough to the stock rear that most people can't tell. Just keep in mind that the front windows will always look lighter even if you do get them dead on. The light coming in from the windshield will always make the fronts look a little lighter.

I'm running 20% on my fronts only right now. I'm thinking about doing like Ran and getting 10 or 15% put all around. The Texas sun is killer on my 8 month old son back there.

I put 35% on my driver and passenger doors, and think that if pretty good. It is only a shade lighter than my crew cab and back windows. A couple of guys I work with put 25% on theirs. Wisconsin law only allows 50% on front and 35% on the back, unless it comes darker from the factory on the rear windows.

I put 30% on the front. Florida allows 28% as a max on the front. From the outside they look just a little lighter.
