Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have never looked into window tinting before and I am not sure how it works. It seems like there is a very slight tint on the windows from the factory. Does anyone know what level that factory tint is? I would need to know what it is on the sides (door and rear side windows) and the rear because I want to get 3M Crystalline 50% on the sides and the rear, but I don't want to go darker than allowed by law in the state (50% on the sides, 35% on the back sides and rear) because of the factory tint in combination with the 3M tint.

Thanks in advance for any help.
