Legal limit here(NM) and in Tx is 20% on front and any thing goes else where.(So I was told) Quoted $ 250 with Quad Cab and eyebrow. Sound about right? (3M tint) -

Im pretty sure texas is 35% in the front. I have 20% all around though and no problem at night. I only have to roll the windows down when im backing in tight spots, but thats mostly cuz the lift makes it hard to see, not the tint. Youd think in texas theyd make all parking spots bigger cuz 50% of the vehicals are full size trucks. -

Here is a link from where you can check out your states laws for tint levels:
International Window Film Association (IWFA)
Here in Id they only allow 35% on the front side windows and rear. The rear side windows can be 20%. I did my little car 20% all the way around and got stopped pretty quick. State boy said it had to be ripped out. I wanted to keep it (And not rip it out so quickly!) so I found out the law allows for a Dr's excuse. If you have a medical condition that requires darker tint, you are legal with that excuse / prescription in hand. Don't know if all states do that or not..

A year later, we kind of wish the front side windows and the rear window were the legal 35%. It only bothers at night backing. Stock back up lights just don't cut it anyway. My Mega has 35% on the front side windows and it is just about right.....

alot of tint is differant.meaning some brands are darker than others all this 5%,20%,35%,means little,it also depends on what color the tint is.some tint is bronze color,some is smoke color,charcoal color,just stay away from that mirror junk,its illegal almost everywhereand it does nothing for making the vehicle dark inside.charcoal 5% is gonna be darker than smoke 5%.main thing to remember is but quality film,not that crap from the auto parts store.yas parts strore tint is dark as hell but is crap quality.look for llumar or 3m for the best.qaulity tint with little maint. will last longer than cheap tint with weekly maint.also fed dot law states you can have tint on winshield but cannot be within 6 in of center of windshield.hope maybe this helps (both my trucks have 5% all the way around with 30% on whole windshield,top has 10 in 5% strip with 30% below that stripe .also not really recommended to put layers of tint on meaning 2 layers of 5% on back glass and doors) -
