Right now I have 5% tint over the factory 20% or whatever it is on my back windows on my truck. On the side ones where you have tint on the other side it looks great. You can't see in at all really unless you cup your hands at the windows and you really can't even see in then. Even at night with a light on you can barely see in. Well I love that look and thought on the rear window 5% over the factory tint would make it dark. Well, the problem is that the windshield lets soo much light in. It barely looks any darker than it did before with just the factory tint. You can still see through it perfectly fine. It looks tinted but not black at all. Overall I'm not super thrilled with it like I thought I would be. I really don't want to be able to see in at all from the outside.

What did you guys do with your rear windows?

Would another layer of 5% on top fix this? Is my only option to get the windshield tinted? I don't really want to do that as not only is it illegal I'd like to be able to see out of my windshield.

Any ideas on what to do here? Overall I guess I just thought it would be darker and am not super thrilled. I have 35% on the front two windows and 5% on all the rear and honestly the windshield lets in so much light it makes the rear look like the 35%. Maybe darker but not a ton.

 

I have 20% on the fronts (illegal) and 5% in the rears, head-on you can barely see in when im coming down the road. Youcould tintpart of your windshield.

 

Thought about that but I think thats just asking for trouble plus I want to be able to see out okay. The windshield is one thing I don't want dark. I was just hoping you wouldn't really be able to see in the rear window after having 5% put on it over top of the factory tint. You can still see through it. Basically you can't see in the rear sides with 5% but you can see through the rear window and the front ones which are 35% you can't see in if you look from the front but if you look from the back so you are looking though the window at the windshield or look straight on you can see through those. I really want those 5% but I don't want a ton of tickets.

 

You say you have 35% on your front two windows, and I think that might be a problem. I have 5% all the way around on mine and yeah the front windshield does let way to much light in, but also if your front windows are only 35% they are also letting way too much light in. I would tint your front windows down to 5% and see what happens. Here is what mine looks like.

 

If you look at mine from that angle you can't see in it either. It's when you look straight on you can still see through. I think the only way to fix that would be from either going a lot darker with it or tinting the windshield which I don't want to do.

 

Most windshields have small dash marks on them towards the top that indicate how much you can legally tint it, anything below those lines is considered illegal.

 

I know mine has factory tint down to there. I'm not sure how much light it actually blocks. It might be better if I had 5% put over that too but idk. It would still let in light in the lower 3/4's of the windshield.

 

I took my tint off jerk cop pulled me over, wish i lived where you can tint as much as you want. You could see everythign in my truck with the window up could see me clearly still got the ticket, those are the suburbs of chicago for ya lol

 

I used to have 20% on the front 2 windows and 5 on the rears and you couldnt see in my back glass at all day or night..now that ive got 5 all the way around you really cant see in...how long have you had the 5 on your back glass? The tint will get a little darker with time

 

Can I ask WHY you need complete blackness from head on?

I'm gonna about GUARANTEE YOU, that every cop you drive past, during the day, is gonna pull you over, if you do that...

I have 5% over the stock rear tint, and then 20% on the door windows (illegal) and it's dark enough for me...

Deal with it, or you're gonna have to pull it off, anyways...
