Looks great, man. I used to hate the idea of tint on my trucks, but it keeps things cooler in the terrible Southern summers down here...

My driver / passenger windows match the rear. Then later I added an extra layer to the rear because I had a new kid and didn't want to put up those blinds. But adding tint to the front window??? I just don't know about that.

I had my my driver and passenger side windows done last week. Now all four windows match in darkness. I believe the rear windows are 23% from factory.

$70 bucks not bad.

I paid a lot more than that, I had 3M Crystalline installed, it cost me $470.

That was for the whole truck, four doors, rear window and front window. The front is 70% and the sides and rear are 40%. I could have had it done for a lot less if I used different film, but I really wanted the heat reduction the 3M Crystalline offers.

The 40%:
39% Visible Light Transmitted
59% Total Solar Energy Rejected
66% On Angle†
97% Infrared Rejected††
50% Solar Heat Reduction
6% Visible Light Reflection Int.
7% Visible Light Reflection Ext.
99.9% UV Rejected
56% Glare Reduction

The 70%:
68% Visible Light Transmitted
50% Total Solar Energy Rejected
59% On Angle†
97% Infrared Rejected††
38% Solar Heat Reduction
9% Visible Light Reflection Int.
9% Visible Light Reflection Ext.
99.9% UV Rejected
23% Glare Reduction

I had my front doors done in 20% to match the rear. But I had to do my front windshield strip myself! The guy was afraid of the rear view mirror bracket lol!!

Thanks guys. I always do the brow. I love the way it looks and when you are driving into the sun it eliminates the glare 9 times out of 10.
