Many cars have darker side windows in the back than front. I do not think it will look odd. The interior is dark and if the back window is also tinted there is not a lot of contrast to make out the difference. The windows of my dad's magnum look the same from the ouside with light gray interior, but the front ones actually do have a black/greenish tint whereas the ones in the back are brownish/black.

I know people get different side window tints but with the tiburon (2door) u got that tiny side window behind the door window just didn't know I should do that one
5 percent on the rear windows would look nice ! seeing as how the window is surrounded in a dark black frame.
see here, this is like 30 percent chrome tint, its still nice and dark, you cant make out whos inside, even in direct sunlight, all you can see is a silhouette. and if you notice the black trim around the back windows, that would blend nicely with 5 percent ! but for the fronts... if your not used to dark dark tint, go with 15 or above !

If you go 5% on the rear, the sides will look darker than they really are. I have 20% on the sides, and 5% on the back. Its nice during the day, not TOO bad at night. No one can see through it.
I haven't had any hassles about it even though its 15% darker than legal.
