Anyone know which Lumar color/percentage will match the back seat window factory tint the best?

I got my front windows tinted, but am very unhappy with the results... they used a straight gray, and it looks "greenish" next to the factory tint.

Ready to try again...

18% plus or minus 2% is etched in my back window from the factory.

The place that does all the Hummers for a dealership here recommended 20% on the front to match best.

Thanks for the percentages.

Now if someone can tell me whether the "bronze" tint would be a better color-match than the standard gray that they used the first time.

Can anyone who has had their front windows tinted if after the window going up and down for awhile if the tint starts showing scratch marks in the tint. I have had several windows tinted on different cars in the past and unfortunately this seems to always happen and it looks like crap.

No scratches at all after 1+ years. Well, except for the scrape the dealer put on one.
