Window Tint is rated by a percentage of VLT (Visible Light Transmitted) The higher the number (100%) would allow the most light through the glass and lower (0%) would be no light visible through the glass.
We carry 70% - 50% - 35% - 20% - 5% films. (Lightest to Darkest)
Keep in mind that some vehicle will have a factory tint installed. Most minivans and pickups will have 20% factory tint installed on the rear, and some other vehicle have 70%-85% front factory tint. This tint cannot be removed and must be considered when placing aftermarket tint overtop. With an 85% factory front tint we would not be able to tint this and stay within state laws for Iowa. 70% tint over 85% glass would yield a percentage that is to high to meet requirements.
