A fella I work with has limo tint on the rear and 10% on the side windows of his Dodge pickup. He also has 4 dents in various locations on the rear of the truck because he can't see at night to back up. He has to drive around at night in the cold with his windows down, and he trys to park in places so he doesn't have to back up. I asked him why he doesn't just take off the dark tint and he says because it's "cool."

I had my fronts done to match the factory tinted rears. I wouldnt go any darker on the rears. I also had a brow done on my windshield.

20% Llumar on the front. So far so good. It is dark at night, but that is to be expected.

This is my Truck: It matches fairly well. It is 5% and I just had him tint over the rear windows to make it 5% all around. Pretty happy with it. I am in Georgia where the police don't seem to care about legal tint. If you went 20% it would look good also.

naz,

I was under the impression that in GA they would bust you for dark tint. That's good that they don't. 20% is about as dark as I want, and light still passes well through that. Yours looks good.
