Not allowed dark tint on the front door windows here either. I went middle of the road on color. Due to the low profile of the car it does appear a little darker too. Also wanted to make sure I could see at night out the sides and back. Tried to match it to my glass top which is about the same shade that comes factory on Tahoes.
I paid under $200 for all three. I would advise going with a reputable shop even if it costs a little more. A lifetime warranty doesn't mean much if the shop doesn't stay open. Also, go with quality tint or over the years it will bubble, and could turn purple. Found out when I had mine done that glass cleaner is the worst enemy of window tint! Warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
Hope you find your perfect tint!

Depends on your location, Tint shop availability, tint shop experience. I have found some tint shops that won't tint the back window and some that will. They say it's one of the hardest windows in any of the cars out there to tint, well to do a good job without bubbles or DOT matrix bubbles. There is the issue of the DOT matrix in the back window you have to deal with too. I found a tint shop in my area that air brushes the DOT matrix and tints the window. I've checked with several different shops and got $200, $225, $250 & $400 for the 3 windows. Check with buddies or on here for your area recommendation tint guys. Good Luck
