Steven Harshbarger Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Today I'm getting the driver/passenger side windows tinted to match the rear windows. I'm curious to what level of percentage you think that is. I want it to match the rear/side windows and I'm guessing 30%. I'll most likely leave it to the professionals to match it but just curious what others have done. I'll post photos tonight once completed. If you guys have any photo's you'd like to share, post them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlDirty Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Those were my exact thoughts last holiday season. Thought I'd surprise the wife with a new mod to her wheels. I called the tint shop I passed everyday to & fro work , got everything arranged for Sat. morning, before X-mas. I'm only assuming my dumbass wasn't even paying attention when the shop owner informed me that the factory tint was slightly darker then legal limits. Got her squared away & back home before the wife had even known about my venture. Hell she didn't even notice a thing until 4:30 PM that day when the teen said "Mom, Why is there a sticker on the door , saying Do Not Operate Windows For 24 Hours". They were both already buckled in with the car started. She looked at me, threw the tinted window, asked "Whats this?" Took everything I had not to laugh at them both. "Whats what, babe?" About 2 seconds later, I think it clicked. Hahaha. Marry F'n Christmas! I made you car illegal! Butt she loves it none the less. They said the factory tint was 18.5%. They installed 20% up front & across the windshield. I still haven't fingered out to post pictures on here yet. I guess now I've got a reason to at least try.

probak118 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Never seen the front windshield done across the top, had a few back in the day with factory tint across the top. What sort of difference does it make overall ? I can see midday sun perhaps ? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 I got 35% tint because I don't like the hassle of being pulled over. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyh Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 My shop did the fronts but they were darker than the factory tint so I had them do the rear side doors and rear sides with 2%. Nice looking match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) I'll have to say again, aside from the windshield tint being illegal, in my state, tinting the drivers and front passenger windows is also illegal if darker than 35%.
