I went with 20 front side windows &30 rear extended cab windows. That combination worked to make the side windows look the same tint factor. Nothing on my rear glass with the topper glass because that would make the rearview mirror useless.

factory tint is roughly 17-18%...you can decide if you want to go 15% up front or 20%...if i were you, i would go 20.....i put 15% over my rear factory tint, so now my rear is approx 3%, and i put 5% on my brow, and 15% up front. you can barely tell the front is lighter, because of the shaddows due to the rear tint ect. looking out at night i can see pretty well, out the front windows at least

You may want to check here for the laws in your state just to avoid problems with the popo. Here in NJ they are ****** about window tint. So, to me, it's not worth the risk of getting unwanted attention and getting pulled over. My windows are staying factory.

I'd like to tint my front windshield a little bit (Yes, I know it's illegal just about everywhere). Anyone done this?

i know a few people, and the people that have it done well, the cars are not daily drivers. their mainly show cars, but get driven now and then, and definately not at night

why the **** would you tint your whole front windshield and even that at 20% tint thats gotta make it very difficult to see at night...but here in VA you can have it as dark as you want in the back and back rear windows...the front windows you can have to 35 % but mine are at 20% cause they don't mess with trucks hardly here in Virginia and i've never gotten pulled for it. and Across the front windshield i have a 4" strip of 5% tint so that way it blacks some of the sun when driving head on into it!
