Default window tint

can anyone apply like a 5% tint to my rear windows and like a 10% to the front...or 5% and 15% or 20%...

i'm trying to get a feel as to what my rear windows would look like underneath black tint because of that greenish/mirrored coating that they already have... I figured that the only way it would look good is if i tint the front ones a little lighter because if they're all 10% then the back ones would look lighter b/c of the mirror...

if anyone thinks they can do it, i'll post a pic..

I have an 02 RX300 with tint to match the rear, and I am going to have the rear windows tinted to reduce the light coming through - I am in Texas so I know about the heat. I am also going to have the front re-done. I heard about applying two layers to provide more tinting. A local tint shop I visited in my area indicated they can tint the back windows. It doesn't appear to affect the mirror tint in the glass. I'll investigate more this weekend and let you know what I find out.

Well, without a pic, how are we to know if we can do it or not?
