Window Tinting
My back window and the back side windows (subercab truck) are factory tinted. I want to get the back windows tinted even darker, but i was told the tint wouldn't stick on the factory windows that have the factory tint on them. have any of you guys heard this before? have any of you tried tinting over top of factory tinted windows?

I want to emphasize Triton's comment regarding visibility. We went with very dark tint on one of our work vehicles but had to remove it because it was dangerous to drive it at night. We would have to roll down the side window to be certain another vehicle wasn't approaching. Good luck.

I just had my truck limo wraped on all the windows. The factory shade should be no problem, but do take note that if you go with something as dark as I did it will be VERY hard to see. It was a huge difference for my truck. During the day it's very hard to see with sunglasses on and at night I can pretty much only see headlights. I had limo put on the side driver and passenger too and if I want to back in I have to roll the windows down or else I can't see what's behind me.

I hope your kidding. Isn't that one of those "You know you're a redneck if..." jokes.

Actually we did it. At our school we have a fundraiser and the event is called motor blast. Usually we drain the oil and floor the car until the motor blows or dies. Who ever guesses the time exactly wins a brand new BBQ. This year we drained the antifreeze and did the same thing. Went for 2 min 38 seconds.
But anyways, we wanted a cheap way to tint the windows so we just painted them black. The car was a freebee, so we figured why not.

That sounds like fun. We did something like that back in college. Except it was an old juker that was towed to the middle of the quad and we got to demolish it with sledgehammers. (We had to take out the glass and anything else that could go flying for safety issues) It was a great stress reliever during finals, 5 hits for $1
