I just picked up my 2017 LC from the dealer this week. They tinted the front windows with legal tint from 3M. All of the rears are factory tint. I noticed that when looking out or when looking in it is a shade of green while the rear glass appears more Amber. Does anyone have advice on the ability to have a closer match to the shade of the rear glass tint without going darker? I noticed that the front glass is UV and I assume that causes the bias towards a green. Thanks.

Just some random thoughts on tints.
I finally got rid of my windshield tinting when I replaced the windshield on the 2008 to discover it was already much darker than my original. Much happier now.
Biggest annoyance with windshield tinting was it's sensitivity to polarized sunglasses. Produced all sorts of weird patterns.
I run very dark tint in back, which I never thought I would like...but I have grown to absolutely love it due to huge security benefit when valuable gear is inside (completely impossible to see from outside, day or night). Also, it keeps the interior much cooler...protects interior from UV damage, and probably saves me from occasional cell phone access (bc interior activity is utterly invisible to vehicles behind you).
If you do go very dark in back (second row and back), you will want much brighter back-up lights at night. Upgrade your backups to LED or additional lights (my bumper added them).
You can see the dark tint in this photo, shown with no additional tinting on windshield, and lighter tint on front seat windows. You can't see into the back at all, but you can easily see OUT of even the darkest rear glass:
