I have an appointment to get my truck tinted today.... But not sure what percent to go with.

I really like the look of this trucks rear tinted windows... It's winter/dark here a lot and don't want to go too dark... Just looking to provide sun protection and a little privacy in the rear. I was thinking of 35% in the rear, but my buddy is telling me 15%. I have to backup out of my driveway and in the winter with no tint its fine, but ive had a few trucks with 5% in the rear windows and it was pitch black in the dark...

Any ideas?



Can someone move this to regular super duty forum? Sorry... Posted in wrong section.

 

Go 25% if just the backs. 15% is getting a little dark really.



My old car with 35% on the fronts and 5% on the back windows.

 

go with whatever is legal. in NYC, patrols have a meter of some type that measures tint and they issue a ticket per windows violation.

 

I went with 15 in the rear and nothing up front. Looks almost identical to the truck picture I posted. Looks pretty much factory.

 

I had them tint the front to match the back, fronts are just a shade lighter than the factory rear privacy tint.

 

tint makes them look like a kid owns it, leave it be stock, you dont wanna look like a drug addicted rap star!

 

I have always gotten 35% in front, and factory tint in the back, on this truck my tint guy talked me into 20% in the front also leaving the factory tint in the back. I like it, but I don't think I would do 20% in the front again, because it is almost too dark at night.

20% almost matches the factory tint, 35% is just a hair lighter. If it were me I would do 20% in the back and 35% in the front. The law shouldn't stop you no matter what then because the front looks lighter than the back-


The jeep is my Wife's with 35% in the front with factory in the back
My truck is 20% in the front and factory in the back-






I have tried uploading these a bunch of time and they still dont show up, I guess I dont know how to computer.....

 

I go 20% Llumar which is pretty close to the factory rear and 5% across the top of the windshield for a sun visor.....I agree with the above post on 20% almost being too dark for at night...I've rolled a window down at night quite a bit when backing up..

Here is some 20% tint for comparison..

Audi S4



F150



Jeep Wrangler JK




The truck and the Jeep were factory tint in the rear with front done to match.....and it is quite dark !!

 

i only tint the windows on cars im embarassed to be seen in.

 

I tint the windows because I don't like riding around in a fish bowl being stared at all day..

 

wow you must be one handsome person to have everyone staring at you all day. post up a picture magnum pi!

 

I will not post any pictures of me thank you very much..

I also don't want a potential thief looking inside my vehicle either or anybody else..

 

i didnt really want a picture, it was a joke. how can people drive around you tho without crashing?

 

I'm in the northeast they crash daily here, I pretend not to see it and keep driving..

 

Thanks for the pics. I will drive around with the stock tint on the front two for a while and see if I want to go darker. I really like the back at 15% so far and the fronts without tint. It allows me to see things using my rear view mirrors pretty easy at night and the backs tinted actually seems like it darkens the inside of the truck some, not as much glare? If I do the front's they will be around 35-40%, no less.

Here is a picture after it was done.
