I want to tint the windows on my truck but i dont know how dark I want them. I am thinking of 50% maybe. I would like opions from some if you guys with tinted windows -

I have 5% in the back and 35% on the front 2, at 35% I can only see a slight difference between them and my windshield when its sunny out, but at night they are hard to back out of places with. hope that helps a little -

I had 5% over the stock tint in the rear and 20% in the front and night time driving wasn't too terrible for me but others didn't care for it much. Too each his own preference when it comes down to it. I say "had" cause that was the last truck and this one is stock cause I don't live in the desert with a charcoal grey truck now. It helps tons with the heat. -

I love my 5% all around including my eyebrow. -

5% is nice but you need to check what is legal 50% isnt much at all. after my 3rd tint ticket on the blur truck i pulled it off and when the cop remeasured the side glass was 72% with nothan on it. 20% at least -

50% = gay... 35% is the legal limit in NC... i have 15% on my truck.. loks realy nice and is dark enough so you cant see who is inside.. although, 15% is a little tough to see through at nite, i couldnt imagine 5%.. i reccomend 15 or 35% -

50% tint is almost not worth your money, its nearly the same as an OEM window...i have 20% on my truck and its not overly dark but dark enough it helps a LOT. -

yea...I've got 15 on the side windows and 5 on the back...thinking about going another layer of 15 over the front windows..and then another layer of five on the rear sides and the rear one. -

if i did it again i would do 20% on the front or i might would do the whole thing 5%. -

I had a PA D.O.T. explain to me that in this state 70 % of the light has to pass through the front windows ! Check the laws for your state , to save yourself headaches .
