mariok answers:

The back window or the rear side windows are 20% VLT? The back window can be very dark. I have a Jeep and the rear side and back windows are all very dark, prob 20% VLT. The state law usually just covers the front windows.

ADD: VLT is visible light transmission. 100%VLT is clear, 0% is black. If the guy tested the front and said it’s already 70% you can’t legally go darker. All states have 70% max. So 70 must be how all front windows come from factory.
