The percentage rating it how much light is let though the tint. the darkest I have seen is 2% but you can't drive with it. Also, the darker the interior of the car is, the darker the tint appears. You can't tell from outside. I had 5% and now I have 20% and they both look the same outside but I can actually see to drive eith the 20%. Limo is 5% so you just get what you get. i have used a couple different types and the rating varies for some reason.
