Pics of your window tint?

Anyone with tinted widow got some pics they could post? I am thinking about some 35% tint(legal) all the way around on my regular cab before summer rolls around. Interested in what the result looks like, and what shade ya'll went with because I don't see too many of our trucks on the road with tint... 'Preciate it.

I have 5% just on the rear window since it is illegal on the fronts here, but I am thinking about putting some on the wing windows this summer. Its been on for a year and a half and it was just some cheap stuff from walmart... 15 bucks if I remember... only thing is its faded just a little bit.

Oh and BTW, those tacky Ford stickers on my back window have been replace by a real Ford symbol... just thought it was worth mentioning.

i dont have any pics of mine, but i have 5% (if i remember right) on my rear window and it looks good, but i hate it at night. all i get is glare from the dash lights. and its a real pain if you arent used to using your side mirrors for backing up cuz you cant see chit out hte back window. just my .02. i wouldnt do it again

Yeah 5% is dark for sure... I have about 20% all the way around on the car, and I wouldn't go any darker than that. The rear window is privacy glass on the truck, so it will be darker than the average 35% tinted window. 35% on the side will keep it nice and legal.

That's 35% all around. I have the same stuff on the sides of my F-250 with factory rear tint. It doesn't match exactly but it's better than nothing and doesn't look too bad.

If your back glass is clear I would put 20 on the back. If it is already slightly tinted then put 35 on it.
