    What kind of tiny do the rear windows have from factory? I want to get ceramic to minimize heat and UV damage? Should I replace them all, or just match?

    TRD Air Filters, Front door windows tinted to match the rears. Wheel locks, Talons Garage cat shield, Tyger Automotive soft tonneau cover, WeatherTech floor mats with Tuff Skinz Custom Emblem kit, Toyota OEM Emblem Black Out kit. AVS vent covers on all four doors, Red Tundra letters on front bumper & TRD highlighted in Red on front grille. Tailgate Tundra Letters in Black.
    It’s actually colored glass. I believe it’s 20%
    But on my 2022 Tundra it’s 37% lighter than my 2017 was.

    I only know this because I had both trucks front doors tinted to match the colored glass in the rear.

    It's about 20% VLT, but you should get it metered to know exactly.

    I suggest getting the entire thing tinted. Especially with ceramic, you'll notice a big difference in heat

    Toyota factory tinted glass is lighter than the big 3…usually Tundra, Tacoma & 4runner factory tint meters in the 28-30% range…until recently I always told my customers factory tint offered no UV protection but did see a video with a meter that was showing factory tinted/dyed glass did have some UV rejection but no where near what a quality film can provide.

    As far as full protection def agree with @Tundra’25 ceramic is hard to beat…for those not wanting the dark look but still protection we have been doing 70% on all the rear windows and 40% on the fronts …here in NC inspections has become very strict prob because all the invisible trailers the high schoolers move around in there GM products :censored:
