    I had limo on my last Tundra, and will not go back to that dark. It was a PITA at times to see.

    In my tacoma I went with 20% all the way around. Since the back windows had a slight factory tint, the rear ended up a lot darker. For the wife's jeep we went 20% in the front and whatever equivalent in the rear to match the front. Think it ended up with ~25% in the back. Makes it look consistent in all windows.

    I think my tundra now has ~25% as it isn't as dark as the jeep or tacoma. I want a little darker.

    Csuviper, I agree I've had 20% on my gt mustang, tacoma, Tundra, and my fiancé had her Rav4 tinted yesterday as well and they look amazing!!

    Sean266, limo is a little dark especially at night, 20% can be a pain at times, thank God for back up cams!

    It was a real pain...I would have to roll down the windows at night to back in (even with the cam plus reverse LEDs) ...even some turns I would have to roll it down to see around the corner

    Working on them now...
    I went with 20% also to match the back. I didn't want to go too dark as it makes it hard to see at night. Been there done that before.

    I'm used to the Limo tint as my previous vehicles a 83 Hilux, 85 4runner and 01 4runner all had 5% tint. Its great during the day and in the summer..... but at night or in the winter i have to crack the window to look both ways. I love the look and privacy of the limo tint.

    I got my truck done about a month and a half ago.. Went with 13% on the fronts and 5% over factory in the rear.. I'm used to the tine as my last truck had 5% on the rears and i cant remember what the fronts where... And I'm also thinking about getting my windshield done because i don"t like to be seen while I'm driving
