Default Privacy Tint %?

Hey does anyone know what is the precentage of the factory privacy tint on the rear windows? Is it 35%? And has anyone ever tried the DIY blackmagic tint? Thanks

The blackmagic tint is not that bad I made it alot easier on myself by taking my windows out on my old truck can't afford to do it to this one yet.

I think that would depend on the state to be honest because here in tn anything on the front windows darker than 35 is ilegal. Granted u can get away with it as long as you stay away from profilers lol I had 5 on my old truck but I know most of the cops where I live

OP, are you asking about the back glass facing the bed, or the rear windows that would be in a crew cab?

Back glass is really dark on my truck, but it might be a state to state thing.

A friend that works at a local glass shop looked at mine and said it looked like 20. My Ram does not have aftermarket tint.

And tint is a stat to state thing. I will tint mine when I get around to doing body work, and will probably pull glass as recommended here.
