I was thinking about stripping my front also, you like it that much? Do you have any pictures?

I asked this same question awhile ago and this is what I found. The back windows are 18% and I had 22% installed. It looked like crap and even a different color.. greenish. I went to another shop and they installed 15% Lumar tint (Black) and it matches perfectly. The guys that say the 20% matches are looking on an angle.. try looking dead on from the side and you'll change your tune. They are correct about the large window in the front and the amount of light that comes in.. hense the need for a darker tint.. 15% IMO

This is with 22% tint from an angle it looks fairly close to a match..

This will REALLY darken the inside of your truck and help on those sunny days.




Here is a side by side pic:

Like I stated before, I have 20% on the front two windows and it matches right to me. The light does make it look lighter but when there isn't much sun out, it matches perfectly. I'm thinking about doing the front windshield now. It looked pretty nice on the red truck.
