Im assuming you mean the gauge cluster? Good to know thank you.

In NJ nothing is legal on the front windows but as long as its semi light your usually not hassled.

The hard part is that most shops only provide certain levels. 15%, 25%, 35%... If you need 30%, you'll need to pick 25% or 35%. IMO, it would be better to err on the higher side and have the front tint be slightly lighter.
Gotcha makes sense, And I agree id rather go lighter than darker... Typically im not even a fan of tint at all but since this is an SUV and the back windows are already tinted I figured matching the fronts would just look nicer.

100% not looking to make it any darker than necessary, If the back windows were not factory tinted I wouldn't even be getting any tint to begin with.
