Default Replacing Original Window Tint on WRX

So, i have 2 options, replace the glass or replace the window tint (long storry)

If i were to replace the window tint on my WRX which is the original stuff from japan, what % is it, im guessing 20% (for the rears)

anyone know whats a good match in this country to match the import one ?

cheers

I thought the tint was in the glass itself. I changed my side windows for P1 side windows to reduce the level of tint - because it was in the glass not film.

Mine has what left of the film under the door card, even though the glass is bronze. 95/96 import WRX.
