It might look darker since your car is a bright colour and it is contrasting. Maybeee?

In the uk the rules are 70% transmission on front sides and 75% on front screen.

I like to keep them on ther toes, so does anyone actually know the percentage of the rears?
Typically it's between 20-35% light transmission depending on glass thickness and composition. If it's laminated glass the inner layer of film is timted rather than such a dark float glass being used such as Venus 10 or Galaxy. Our side glass is 4mm thick monlithic so the tint is all done in the float glass.

Yeah if you have factory fitted privacy glass and are looking to match them by tinting the front that won't be far off but as already said watch out for 
You'll get told to remove them if you get stopped mate, as well as a fine. Personally I wouldn't bother, for the level of tint that's allowed by law it's not worth it.
Are your fronts not already tinted? They look pretty dark.
I see a lot of cars with tinted front windows. Seen a lot really nice cars in nice (rich) areas too with tints and they're super dark. I'm always under the impression that police won't touch them since the area is so nice and next to no crime happen as well as no street dossers hanging about

In the UK you cannot tint the front side windows. Windows without added tint do not let all light through and that is why there is some percentage given in the regulations.
Having additional tint on the front side windows poses a risk for other road users, especially cyclists and motorcyclists.
Please don't do it! If you (or anyone else does) do, I would hope the police ask you to remove them.

This reminds me!!! I saw my nephews car a few weeks back (he's 20), I sat inside and took this pic...I then told him about the dangers and that the Police will stop him....not to mention that it looked well gay
I even got him to stand on the pavement whilst I took the picture, so that he could see how much was being blocked...can't see him at all!!!
