If it's 20% then it blocks 80% of all visible light and only allows 20% of visible light to transmit through. Period. Using these terms like "smoked" and "normal" don't mean anything.
As I said, "smoke" is the word used to describe the color of the tint as in it is charcoal, gray, or smoke in color. It has nothing at all to do with how dark it is. And you don't get your windows "smoked" at all. The tint is a film applied to the interior of the glass.
If two people both have 20% and one looks darker than another, it has more to do with the size, shape and angle of the glass, the color of the interior and any factory embedded tint that was already in the glass than anything else.
And to the guy who was making no sense at all with "matching the hatch": the black band around the glass in the rear quarters is a ceramic layer bordering the inside of the glass. To match that would involve painting the windows with black spray paint, which on a car is not legal in any state.

yeah i wasnt saying it blocks anymore light...was just saying it appears to be darker because of the color of the tint...thats all(guess i should have said that the "smoked" is a color and not some sort of smoking tool used on it or anything...sorry), thats why i said 20% sorry if im not making sense, its the first car ive ever got tinted. im noob. when i said smoked i strictly meant "smoked" as the color of tint that i got, and that is all.
btw gj on the tint thread you did, lots of good info there.
300 posts! woo.
