lol your post still doesn't make sense but I am glad in some odd way you figured out what you needed to know. The back window or tailgate doesn't come tinted when you get the car so to match it you wouldn't need to do anything.

yeah smoked is slightly darker than 20% normal tint(im not sure how much, assuming you would have to use one of those guns to test). guy who was getting is mustang tinted at the same time as me was complaining that he got 20% and i got 20% and mine was darker, lol.

i was wondering wtf this guy was talking about myself...but now that i actually think about it and look at the hatch...you know how the outer edges have a dark edge? i think he is trying to match that tint...?
Hey guys, read my thread on tint. What you're saying makes no sense.
20% is 20%. Smoke is just a color as apposed to bronze. "Smoked" 20% isn't darker than "normal" 20%. In fact, none of that makes any sense at all. 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.
