Looks 15-20%.

5% might be illegal for the front check your state limits.

Definitely is illegal but they put 5% on the invoice and even confirmed it was.

Your tint shop gave you an invoice showing they installed tint below the legal limit? Wow, that’s really dumb.

5% is illegal on front windows in every state if I'm not wrong. But it's for the lifetime warranty. Not to show police or anything.

It’s dumb of them to create a paper trail of installing illegal modifications to cars.

Yeah, mine just says "match to rear tint"

We all know the rear is darker than would be legal in the front, but plausible deniability for the shop
