Question Factory Tint. What is it?

I can't seem to find the seam of the tint around the window. For some reason my driver and front passanger windows aren't tinted. "DUMB for AZ". I want to get the front tinted dark but it would look stupid if the fron are darker than the rears.

I don't understand factory tint I guess because I can't see where the tint seam are. It's not inside the window is it? Sounds stupid but who knows

Factory Tint is 20%. States vary on what is allowed on the front side windows and the windshield.

It should, as long as you use the right color, and not like purple tint or something like that.

It will be a very close match but not exact.
