Homer,
"TNT" Tinting is number one Tinting installation in Hawaii. They ensure that the legal 35 percent of tinting is installed on all cars. On their recommendation, I had my black MO tinted all around. According to these folks, the factory windows in the back and the tail gate is not tint film...
If they know what they are doing, then they know that it doesn't matter whether there is a "film" tint used or not.
It's the total degree of reflectivity that counts.
Don't know if the cops carry these in Hawaii, but some do here in FL. and many other states.

Pocket Detective 3.0
Window Tint & Reflectance Meter
The Pocket Detective 3.0 Window Tint Meter offers unprecedented accuracy and reliability. This device offers solutions for both Visible Light Transmission (VLT) measurements along with
Visible Light Reflectance (VLR) measurements. VLT is in reference to the percentage of light transmitted through glass and VLR is in reference to the amount of light reflected.
The function of measuring reflectance is important for today's law enforcement and inspection facilities to insure proper visibility for the safety of the driver and public safety officials.
