Can I go darker than 25% on the front?

Only with a medical exemption. Otherwise 25% VLT is the legal front limit in Texas — we'll help you stay compliant while maximizing heat rejection.

Does a darker tint reject more heat?

Not necessarily. A quality near-clear ceramic can reject more heat than a cheap dark dyed film. Technology matters more than darkness.

Is 20% or 35% tint darker?

20% tint is darker than 35% tint. Tint percentage refers to visible light transmission (VLT), so a lower number means less light passes through and the glass looks darker. 35% is a common balanced shade, while 20% is noticeably darker and closer to rear-privacy territory.
