The lower the number, the darkerthe tintis. I think the number is refering to how much sunlight is let through?? So probably people would get something like 20% front windows and 5% rear windows.

--------------------------------------------------------

Personally I would just match the the front to the factory rear windows with 20% and then maybe do a 5% or 20% brow over the wind shield (to block out a little more heat in the summer time). Correct me if I am wrong but, if you tint the front windows the inside of the cab is gonna naturally be darker during the day, so from the out side it will be additionally harder to see through the factory tinted glass making the tint appear darker than it was. So, you may think the original factory tint isn't dark enough right now, but it should darken a little after you get the front tinted. I would suggest just tinting the front first to see what it looks like.

 

I matched my side windows to the rears. I think it's 20%. It took a while to get used to at first ( about 2 weeks ) but now i absolutely love em. They're not too bad at night unless you're trying to back up in an area with no lights. I just roll down the window when i hafta do that. Otherwise i'm fine.

 

you can out 40% on the front window...and have to cut out a space for your insepction sticker ( just did this to my buddys truck) but if you put anytihng UNDER 40%...yuo will BEVER be able to drive your truck at night..its hard to drive his jst with 40% and looking at on coming traffic....i love my 5% all the way around..its limo tint and i got a 6 inch strip down the windshield and so its pretty dark because i have the black and grey interoir....i think u guy would like the way the truck looks with pitch black windows from outside...

 

OK I hate to be the stick in the mub and any cop that writes a guy up for his window tint is just bored & needs to go find a really crook to bust....but. There are laws in different states about different tint levels by window.

The trucks that come stock with the back and rear windows tinted are 15%, straight from a tint meter. When you match the front to that, it looks pretty good. My current truck has much darker tint which is nicer but i cant see crap at night and I have to roll the windows down to back into a space. Here in FL its 15% in the rear 28% in the front.

 

NC is 20% rear, and 40% front..nothing windsheild..

 

do the 5% all the way around it is dark and all. but its worth it. i plan on doing the same to mine in the next few months. just be more cautiotius at night and all.

 

I have 5% all around, on top of factory and love it. However, it is a little hard to see at night but thats not a big deal to me.

thanks for the responses so quick guys and gals. When I originally posted this post I was leaning towards doing 20% all the way around. My thoughts on this, and correct me if I am wrong, would be that since the the rear doors and slider are already at 20% it would make it close to limo and then 20% on the front might keep me from getting messed with by the cops. Now I'm thinking about running 5% on the backs and 20% on the fronts. But I really like the 5% all the way around. I've had my windows tinted before and am very use to having to roll my windows down to see. Thanks for the pics guys they helped a bunch. I will probably end up with 5% all the way around and if I get messed with too often I will have it replaced with 20% on the front. I'll post some pics when I get it done. Thanks again.
