Front Window Tint?

I want to tint my front two windows and add an eyebrow. With that said I want them to be darker than the rears due to light coming in through the windshield but not too dark to notice a difference between front and rear. What percent would you guys recommend?

 

5% is usually the darkest you can get anywhere. I have 5% all around my truck and also the glare strip

 

Unless it's the look you're after do the whole windshield. I've had it done on the last 3 vehicles I've owned. 50% on the Tundra. Makes a huge temperature difference and with 50% or less it doesn't noticeably limit vision at night etc.
As for the other windows I have 20% on everything. The back is a little darker because it is over the factory tint. 20% on just the front and nothing over factory comes very close to matching.

 

55% windshield

20% front doors and back window

35% back doors

The back doors have factory tint so it should match up nicely on side view.

Option B..what I did
55% windshield
5% the rest.

 

Rocking 5% on the fronts, 15% rears and back due to the factory tint already there. Toyed with the idea of the windshield...haven't pulled that trigger

 

I did only the front two windows, 18%, seems to match the back.

 

You don't get harassed for being over the legal limit in Utah? I thought it was illegal to have more than the top 6" or whatever of the windshield too..?

 

I did 25% on the front windows and it looks like a factory match to the rears. (2nd gen)

 

I'm glad I did my windshield 50% better than the eyebrow imo

 

So 20% on the front with nothing on t g e rears should be a good match?

 

I like my windows Dark! 5% all around.. aka limo tint

 

That's what I have, the fronts are a tad lighter but I like it

 

50 on front two and 35 brow.

Next time I'm keeping 50 on front and 70 ish on windshield.
Country roads are dark as hell already!

 

lol I bet.. big difference in Vegas... hella hot and sunny... we need that 5% over here. Keeps the heat out as well

 

the rear are closer to 35

 

I haven't been pulled over in the Tundra but I had the exact same set up in the Taco without issue. The windshield is not noticeable unless you're looking for it. It's mostly tinted for the ceramic heat shield and not color.

 

Yes, that will be close. When I got my Tundra tinted, the shop metered the back doors and rear window; from the factory, those are all 17%.

I did 5% on the front doors, 20% on the rear doors and back window...all glass now meters right at 4%. I also did 32% on the entire windshield.

 

I had a buddy tell me about a new clear film for the front windshield that blocks out some of the UV rays and light. It's by 3M called Crystalline series’ performance. According to 3M, the company’s clear films will allow anywhere from 40 percent to 90 percent of visible light into a car, depending on which grade is chosen. Also dependent upon which grade is chosen is the amount of solar energy rejected, which ranges from 34 percent to 60 percent. If you want to Tint your front windshield it's a great alternative without sacrificing night time vision.

Trust me I'd be doing limo, but ever since the ny inspection law even what I have is no bueno

 

Yeah, there's no vehicle inspections where I live. Upside is I can pretty much do whatever I want, downside is every POS that isn't suitable for driving is.

 

No "inspections" However can be a ticket magnet 40-8-73.1

 

yes, I'm quite aware of this...county sheriff got me...$185 fine. But, I took my chances and didn't strip it, just paid the fine

 

25% is all they would legally do so I went with that today and no eyebrow.

 

You did good

 

Not fan of eyebrows? WHAAAAAAAAA

 

I was thinking the same. I live out in the desert and its gets way dark. Usually when I turn right or left I cant see if there's anything walking into the road. Then I remember I'm in the middle of the desert and what ever could be walking in the road probably is ok to hit lol

 

That's usually the case when i'm hunting which is 30 minutes to 45 mins to the nearest TOWN......where i was living, country is only 5 minutes away from the city limits, needless to say we do have idijits and dumbasses that think walking down a country road wearing nothing but black clothing while drunk, high, and even sober is a good idea......

wouldn't mind having a couple of those idiots as hood ornaments sometimes the way they think they can walk in the middle of the road!

good thing i have good headlights! LED bar would be even better! (definitely an upcoming mod)

 

DUDE... I agree 100%. When I lived in Texas, it seemed like folks would try and time your speed so they could tap the ass end of your truck as you drove by. Regardless, if you're being a dumbshit and trying to play chicken with me, that's on you. I only say that because it actually happened. Then the jackass started flopping around until a cop drove up and told him he saw everything and to get up. Made my day.

 

Those are the kind of people that should be sterelized to prevent more stupid from coming into this world! we have enough of that crap already! LOL

That would make my damn YEAR!!

 

I was shitting myself when the cop pulled over with lights on. I was thinking, "shit I'm going to jail for hitting this SOB and his ass is the one who jumped on my truck." luckily the officer said he has seen this on more than one occasion and this was just another one of those. He was really cool about it and even let the jackass who crossed and got hit, leave. I wasn't going fast at all but the dude could have definitely taken me to the cleaners if we were in... let's say... Oregon or SanFran or LA lol.
