If you're worried about all of that then do it the legal limit for your area which is probably 35%

 

Love my window tint. Hated driving for a week without it. I did 20% which is technically illegal in Texas but legal in some other states. It's too damn hot here so I wanted some help with that. Pretty easy to see out of even at night. The back windows are about 10% which IS legal. Harder to see at night but not as bad as my old limo tint.

This one the front window is actually rolled down. I guess I don't have as many pictures of my truck as I thought. Just got it!

I got them to match my rears. Turned out (per Cop after my $236 ticket) the rears are 17% or at least that's what the front registered. Paid the ticket and still have the tint on lol. He got me at night, it'll take 1 more ticket for me to take it off hahahaha.

 

20% on mine and no tickets so far...knock knock on wood..

How hard is it to see at night for you? Did you do it yourself?

How did you guys install? Would like to save some money and do it myself. I heard some people take out there window so its easier to apply? I really dont wanna have it look like crap on the in or outside. In thinking 20% after seeing that as my rears are already the factory tint.

I have 5% all the way around on mine. Not much of an issue most of the time but on dark roads I gotta roll down the front windows sometimes before making a turn.

For me, it's worth it because I went dark because for one I like the privacy and two it just looks better in my opinion.

Not sure what % this is..told them to match the back as best they could. Not really an issue as most roads around here are lit up pretty good..only time it's an issue is if I'm looking for something at night.

 

20%

5% all around
I love it, don't want people peeping in lol
As far as night driving its not too bad with street lights around.

 

Don't do it yourself. Take it to a reputable shop. I have been pulled over twice since tinting. Not for tint (18%), but no ticket or mention of it. I would post a picture but it's an undercover CIA/DEA/HOA/SWAT/FBI/ASAP/BRB/ATF/LOL/DOJ car and it might blow my cover.

 

Looks like ill be bringing it to some one for some tint and ill be going with 20% im thinking

I just bought some DIY stuff off ebay last week. It should be here today. I went with 30% just to cut down on heat a little, don't really care about privacy.

Local tint places want about $100 for the front two windows. I bought this stuff for $12 with shipping, so if it doesn't work or I want a different %...no big deal.

 

I've tinted my own windows before and had done by a professional and I don't care where you buy it or how easy it is to install...you will never do it as good as the pros. Plus they've done it more times then you can count and the place around here offers a life time warranty and replacement if you want every 3-4 years. for 145 all the way around. I don't know if you can beat that. I would ask around about warranties also sense bad tint can get scratched or if a window gets busted out your not screwed.

 

If it's pre-cut, you could do it as good as the pro's. I've done several vehicles in the past with tint (non precut too) and it came out as good as any "pro" would do it.

I never heard of that kind of warranty. Around here, you only get free tint warranty replacement if something happens to the tint due to faulty workmanship or material quality.

$145 all the way aorund must be a special bro deal. Around here, a good tint shop will charge you $85-$125 just to do one rear window in a top quality metalized ceramic tint. Most of cheaper places don't give you the choice of really dark tint. I couldn't get less than 5% at the place I went to. I originally wanted 2% on my back window. $225-$325 is the going rate around here.

 

My friend just gave me a reputable guys number who is farely cheap. 120 for the back three of his beamers windows so ill see how much for my front two on the titan and maybe a strip on the windshield

That's what my friends say... I had them do 20 over the factory back tint. I wish it was all as dark as the back

 

Just called my local pd and sadly its illegal to have any tint on your front windows!!:what: Hmmm now time to weigh out if its worth it.

If you do the back doors and back window quite dark while doing a much lighter tint in the front doors you will probably get away with it. My last one I did 20% over the factory tint and 35% on the front doors.

I done three vehicles this way and no tickets. I have the same laws here. No tint at all on the front doors.

All my buddies that tried dark tints on the fronts got tickets and had to remove it.

Judt got off the phone with a tint guy and 80 bucks to do my back 2 and front 2 on my KC. Gonna do like mentioned above I think and do 20% more on the back factory and then 35% on the front. Pretty happy with the price seeing if I get in trouble its not a big loss.

im 20% fronts, 15% back and rear. awesome in the fla heat and looks good. sucks when i try to back up at night and i cant see anything out the back window but the reflection of my stereo and gps.

 

In California you need to have 70% of the light visible on the front two windows and there are no restrictions on any of the rear windows. X2 on don't try this at home! I thought the exact same thing "it's only a couple bucks so if I f**k it up no big deal". Save ur $15 and the head ache it WILL give u. The lowest I was quoted here in San Diego was $80 for the front 2 windows. Lifetime warranty ?

Does anyone know if there is a stock tint put on our T's? Mine came pre-tinted either from being built or from the dealership and don't really know what the % is but would like to get some tint on!

 

If u take it to a tint place they will be able to tell u what % it is right away.

The windows on my KC were smoked when I purchased it and the tint shop that did mine said they could match it, so I got my front 2 windows done for $60 I think?

I cant remember what he said the stock smoked back windows were, but he matched them perfectly. Id say it was 15% tint.
