Tint

My wife took the evo to get tinted today at expertint in frisco and we got 3m colorstable 30Front and 20Rear. I 'm looking at it and I can't see any differance between the front and back door windows. Mind you it looks good but I expected it to be a little darker??? Any way that I can test if the are the same? Also who locally installs darker tint so I can get a little darker on my work truck?

maybe the sunshade in the front window was blocking some of the light coming through the windsheild. I took a second look without the sunshade and the front looks a little lighter but still not sure. I'll post another pic in about an hour. Does the tint look good though?

Take 12 sheets of white paper, divide into 6 sheets each and hold them flat to the inside of the glass front & rear, then take photo. Compare areas in front of paper to see any difference.

I'd go with llumar tint next time. I'm a professional window tinter and i i'd recommend a 15 per. on rear and a 20 on the front it would make it much darker. The reason i say go with llumar is because it actually has a thin reflective metal between the tint for better protection from the sun also comes with lifetime warranty against peeling fading and cracking. I don't think 3m has metal in film. If you got any questions just pm me.
