The interior is black leather. That should contribute some right, or at least make it look darker.

Pm me your address so I can have it ready to send you all the tickets i would get with windows like that. Cops around here would probably throw you in jail.
Kinda funny how stict they are getting with visibility issues. And yet they just let the lazy people who cant scrape the snow and ice off their windows free.

One of my friends did say it was considered a felony to have it that dark but I don't know if I believe that or not. Either way I don't think I'd take any crap in Florida other than a ticket. Believe it or not you can still see in sometimes depending on the angle.

I have an 04 black in/black out SCREW Lariat. I got tints done, and measured em. 4% all around, all windows cept for sunroof and front windshield. Looks good, kinda hard to see out of sometimes though.

Well I seen a truck really similar to mine today in town, and it had 35% on it. Didn't look have as bad as I thought. I'll post some pics whenever I get some. How warm should it be to get tint? I know that the remaining water in between the film and glass needs to evaporate, and at below freezing temps I just don't know.

So 35% on the fronts would match factory back tinted windows?

I live in Colorado and 27% is legal. I just want the best match to the backs withouts going back over the factory tinted windows to save some $$$$
