I say that cuz tags what I have along with 9 on the fronts and 5 all around back and it's not too dark through the windshield but through the rest it gets kinda hard a night sometimes. When I was looking into it everyone said 50 would be a waste because it wasn't enough difference for the trouble

One of the best things to do! Reduces glare from on coming cars a lot! I have 30% on the windshield, 5%+10% on the sides and 5%+10%+stock on the rear window. I love it!

Did i mention it looks AWESOME!

there is a limit on the amount of tint you are allowed to have on the front windshield, if they peel the sticker off and see that the tint covers the whole windshield, what makes you think they are going to put the new sticker on the truck

In most states you cant even tint the windshield.

Looks good on Lakemarys truck.

Cant see the first picture tho

thanks guys!

sampson - the only thing i can compare it too is that its like driving around wearing sunglasses all the time! lol and at nite it does seem to keep the glare down from oncoming cars, i paid $100 to get it done.

f150fella - i was told that any inspection station in pa (not sure about other states) cant decline a new sticker for tint on windshield, but ive heard cops dont like it!

Nevermind I see it now. Looks good

How do you like your rough country lift btw? I got rough country leveling kit and plan on buying their 4 in lift in the next few months. I think they make a good product.
