Crew Cab window tinting

Crew Cab window tinting
I'm looking to go get my windows in my truck tinted. I have a Lariat, Crew Cab and the rear passenger windows and rear windows have privacy glass. I want to darken the front windows to give the truck a nice look. I was just wondering how much a tint job usually costs, and if I just put tint in the front windows, or over too of the privacy glass also.. Thanks for any help in advance

There was a special at a local Audio place, i did my fronts for 75$. Cant remember the % numbers, but the guy could not do the front windows the same as the back if i wanted it to be legal(Maine state laws). But i must say when you step back and look from a distance they pretty much look the same.Tinting the windows is one of the best things I've done to that truck, totally changes the look!

Jared - just make sure you find out what the legal limits are in your area before you spend your money and take the chance of getting tickets. Also, applying a tint over factory tinted windows will give you a deeper tint than what is indicated on the tint packaging.
Most reputable tint shops I have dealt with have a meter where they can test the opacity of the tint.

For clarification, color density can be measured in transmission, or how much light gets through, or absorption, or how much light is absorbed by the filter medium, in this case window film. Extremely dark tint can either be described as 90% absorption, or 10% transmission. Depending who you're talking to, tint could be described either way.
I've had windows tinted on several vehicles, and even the shops doing the tint aren't all using the same way to describe color density.

I just had my 2014 tinted and something that I highly recommend is havingthe windshield filmed. They have a film that is transparent that blocks90% of the harmful radiation that messes up our dashes and the most amazingthing is that it blocks over 75% of the heat transferred into the trucksinterior. I live in Florida and it is amazing to get in my truck and nothave to swelter when I first get in. I liked it so much that I took itback to the installer and said hey why didn't you do my sunroof while I washere. He apologized and the instead of the quoted $60 install heinstalled it for me with even a better upgrade of film for $40. It reallyis amazing at just how much cooler my interior is now after sitting out in theparking lot. I highly recommend that you check into whichever film thatyour area carries and see about getting it installed.<o></o>
