Should be simple math. .7 x .35 = .245, or 24.5%
Unless you're hell bent on a really dark tint, peel it, then put what you want. Adding layers is a recipe for disaster.

Wow, that's really stupid.
Yes, the windows are actually a type of green glass that has certain transmission levels that provide a 'solar tint' in the glass.

Just got back from my hearing, got dismissed because the cop didn't show.
Bump
I just got an $85 ticket in central MO for my tint. I have 5% all the way around (not the wind screen). Now I'm debating my options.....
1. Do nothing, leave the 5% all the way around.
2. Keep the 5% on the rear window, and two back doors. Have 35% on the front doors.
3. Strip all of the 5% off and have 35% installed all the way around.

What's the law down there? Certain % on certain windows or none on some?
35% is the max on the front. Anything you want everywhere else. So, option 1=illegal, options 2 & 3=legal.
EDIT: I'm not too concerned about getting a ticket in St. Louis (they have bigger fish to fry). I got the ticket in central MO by a statey on a Saturday morning. AKA, he had nothing better to do.

Ok, something similar to MI, except we can't have s*** on the front.
If you're gonna strip it off, don't go up as high as 35. That's light. I went from 5% rear/20% front on my Protege to 20% all around on the MS6. I wouldn't go lighter than that.
Personally, fight the ticket, pull the fronts and get a paper from a dealer saying it was removed. After that, do your tint work.
Buddy got pulled over in St. Joseph for his tint. They were only 5% to dark. And he still gave him a ticket. Definitely had nothing else better to do.
I thought about that. However, by the time I drive down to the court house and drive back, I've blown through 5 hours in my car (~300 miles RT). For an $80 ticket, I might just pay it. There aren't any points against my license or insurance, so thats also a plus.

Ouch, that's one hell of a hike! Our tint rules up here blow. In one county, they'll right it up as obstruction of vision, which is 2 points an $150, or defective equipment, which is only $100 and no points. When I recently fought mine, it was for the obs. vision because the cop decided to be a tool.
Clear tint?? weird.. but i understand the concept.. but i wouldnt go with 2 different shades of tints.. i personally think it looks weird.. i think with the same percentage all around makes it much smoother even if it is as light as 35%.. which is what i have, but if the laws were different i would deffinately go darker.
mostly two shades if theyre close are unnoticeable.. i have two diff shades on my car and you couldnt tell for your life.. but if you go limo in back, light up front.. it will look a little silly..
and the clear tint is really good for heat reduction.. it has i mild rainbow irredescent look at times.. but, i dont think a cop could spot it??

I'd be interested to see what clear tint looks like, could you post a pic?
well i got out of my ticket for having it off the fronts. plus i found out the magistrate was my neighbor so i don't know if the fact she knew me helped to but the cop was just like yeah i have seen him drive around its off. i'll probably get it put back on the fronts but a little lighter since the rears are 20%, maybe put 30 or 35 on. i can get it done for free cause my friend has a guy that works for him that does it on the side.
