Which window tint %?

Which looks best to the rear OEM privacy glass?

Have an appointment in 3 hours, need to decide quickly!

20 or 27%?

I think the reason they have 31 flavors of ice cream is because everyone is different so what you think looks best may not be what I think looks best. With that said I would want to err on the side of dark so if I wasn't sure I would go with the darker option...if it were me.

I went with 20% on my last 5 vehicles (all Fords) and all matched the rear tint pretty well.

I like 5% on everything except what I want to check mirrors through, there it's 20%. But then again, I live in Texas. The sun seems to spawn more suns here...

When I had my fronts done to match the rear factory tint I believe I went 20% and I got the UV tint also

Ended up with 27%, which is darkest legal in Colorado.

I'm happy!

35% is legal here but I went with 20% and don't regret it at all.

Your truck looks great now too.

20% Llumar is what my tint dude does when I tell him to match the front to the factory rear....Thats on all the Fords I've owned, a Jeep Wrangler JK, and a few German cars.

NC says 35% and that's what I put on mine. It's not as dark as the rear, but I like for LEOs to feel comfortable if/when they stop me.

Roll ALL your windows down, dome light on and keep hands on the wheel. Safest way.

I think that's because instead of showing respect for a thankless job, some folks feel it's the man just screwing with them not thinking they probably brought it on themselves.

i hear that.
for me, its just to easy to be nice and make them feel safe and most of the time drive off with either a warning, or no ticket at all.

anyways, im thinking about tinting mine soon. i think i would go 20% for the front doors, and 20% over the rear doors/back glass.
