Default Window Tint?

I was wondering what my truck would look like if I did it in 20% infront and 5% in rear. or 20 all the way around. Anyone got some pics thanks.

Hey man I have 5% all the way around on my dodge and its an extended cab and if you'd wanna see that I think I can come up with a pic. I like having 5% all the way around opposed to 20% on the sides an 5% in the back. I think 5% is the way to go unless your worried about legality issues, but I've been pulled over 3 times with 5% and no one has said anything to me, but if you want the pic let me know

I have 35% on mine all the way around and I like it and it is legal in MN. I tried the 20% on my Bronco and I thought it was too dark at night and kinda limited my visiablity. Just my 2 cents

I have 35% on mine in the front and don't like it at all. It looks darker than that dudes truck in his signature that said he had 35% but you can still see through it if you look straight on. It's hard to see in at an angle. I'd like to have it quite a bit darker.

As for 5% I had it on my old truck and liked how it looked a lot but it was a pita to see out of at night. You couldn't see out of it unless there was a bright light behind you. I think it was a little too dark as it wasn't very safe at night. 20% might be a good middle ground I don't know. I wish I could get the look of 5% from the outside but still see out of it.

I did 20 front and 5 rear. I did it myself and it came out crappy.
5% is hard to see through, I would reccomend a camera or lights if you go 5% in the back.

There is a guy on ebay with pre-cut tint for our trucks, it makes it alot easier not to have to cut it. Just makes sure there is no wind and you don't make any creases in the tint.

hey ramit, actually the legal limit in MN is 50 percent so your still illegal, but you wont get busted for it.

but i have 20 up front and the stock tint on the back.

the last picture is one before i got the tint so you can see the difference

sorry it ended up being 80 bucks total to have a local place put it on, and they guarantee there to be no bubbles or creases

I have 20 on my reg 95 ford and it doesn't seem that dark. I would like to see 5 but I think that might be too much. I'll prb go 20. Plus with 20 over factory rear that will make it darker.
