That should look good, both from outside and inside. What tint brand and type are you getting?

Had my truck out in about 35min. They had 2 guys on it. It’s Lumar Formula One Pinnacle Series. Think I really like it. Not as dark as I’m used to, but definitely more driver friendly.
My previous truck (GMC extended cab) is 15% front doors, with two layers of 5% over the factory tint on back doors and glass, and 5% brow. You can’t see in it and you can’t see out of the rear windows either. You look in the rear view mirror and see a reflection of the dashboard. Handing that truck down to my 16yo boy, so it’s gotta get stripped in next couple weeks.

Good choice. I have their CTX 25 on the fronts which is actually 28% VLT. I sometimes wish I did their CTX 15 since it is actually 20% VLT. It looks like that Formula One Pinnacle 15 is 19%.

back windows already tinted most trucks…don’t need much tint. Then it sounds like he did 15% (on the clear fronts). It makes sense and I bet it looks pretty good.

I’ve been contemplating 15 up front and 35 over the rears as well. Looking forward to more of your pics! I’m ocd about the color from the inside matching as closely as possible, as much as the view from the outside. I also may go 15 on front and rears depending on how I feel that day!

I'll get some pics later this evening from inside looking out, but that was important to me too. Previous truck, you looked to the right to pull out and could only see thru the front door window, if you needed to see farther to the right than that, you were SOL.
