I have 30% on side windows and 10% on the rear window. That is the darkest I would go. I will try to see if I have a pic.

split it up. like slvrr said, the back will make the front look darker than it is.

In my experience, they look the same if you get the same tint all the way around. and if they do look different, the front would look lighter because the windshield lets in a bunch of light.

Wait a minute... is it 30% or 70% tints that are legal for the front windows in CA? =/ I think it might be 70% which looks like nothing...

You can't have any tint on the front windows, you can have any % on the back windows

Just got back from the tint shop. Had limo done on all the rear windows and a 4" strip accross the windshield. Asked about the fronts and they told me that none of the tint is legal for the fronts in cali so i left them alone.
