20% tint is a close match but can impair night visibility when compared to actual factory tinted glass. Installer highly recommends 35% which he uses on his own vehicles.

Default stock is 20%

Stock is 20% factory tinted windshield that gives you a blueish/grayish style tint to the window. I used LLumar tint, better than 3M by far and has a grade that gives a very similar shade as stock 95% match. As the factory window tint is something you will NEVER get 100% match, doesn't matter what brand you get, i found this the best match.

I really should post pics of my truck, damn I'm a frekin slacker...

Thats because the factory tint isn't really tint, its colored glass.

Yup that's the hard part matching the color of the tint by just doiong the front windows. What my truck came with (% wise I have no idea) but tinted all the windows, all sides and back. At first I thought the price was rediculous for two windows, but a closer look. . . The color is almost a perfect match.

I put 15% on both front windows as that was the closest match to the factory back. They are dark. I cannot see using 35%. That would be like night and day vs the factory tint.

I got my truck tinted. I got 10% all the way around. 6 inch 5% across the top of the windshield covered by 40% over the entire windshield. Also I got the emblem on the center of the windshield in chrome. It looks HOT!!!!

I traded in my Ford 500 for my new Ram and had 5% on the car, but this time on my Ram I went with 20% all the way around, on top of the factory color. I think it looks great.

Does the rear auto window cause any problems?
