Factory tint question
Ok so my 04 tacoma has factory tinted windows. Does anyone know what % the factory tinted windows are on most vehicles?
My taco is a double cab and I'd like to match the front doors to the back.

We've gotten 20% on the last 3 Cadillac Escalades in the family, it was almost a perfect match. However, the 20% tinted windows were actually metered at 13%.

My tint meter reads my tinted CLS windows at 12% & I have 15% tint.
My Suburban reads in at 15% for the factory tint.
15-20% is standard

That's why I mentioned the after meter %.
