Yes.
Plus it will be asking for trouble with the front windows obviously darker than the rear windows. I personally wouldn't put 5% on the front anyway.

I agree. You'll be fine with 15 or 20 on the front. Will match better and you'll still be able to see at least a little out of the sides at night.

Nice!! What did he end up putting on the front windows? Definitely put some pics up! As for the front, I have 35% and can't tell the difference looking out. Some people make it out to seem like it's impossible to see out of. I can't tell...

(35% on an extremely overcast day)




If nothing else I suggest at least putting 50% on when you have some spare money. It will take that ugly green hue off the windshield and will make your truck look much better overall.

I'll take some tonight. Been meaning to--thanks for reminding me. It's the same deal at night--I have a hard time telling the difference. Even my buddies that ride with me all the time (I'm always the one driving) said they can't tell a difference on the front. I can't say the same for tint on the sides, though..


It's going to be harder to get a good night shot while moving, but I'll try. Get off work in about six hours, so when I get home I'll grab my camera and head out.

....man I don't know what the heck happened. Played terrible until the end, of course. One can always hope. Booker's little brother is coming next year--that's going to be a dangerous combo.


Pernell still goes without a win in the tournament. That would have been his first tourney win. Poor guy.

i just drove around and its nighttime basically pitch black already, i had NO problems seeing out the side fronts where i just got the tint in

i asked to get 20% done he said no it was very illegal, but ill take it with the 35%

the front i also asked him if he would do it but when i go pick up my dads car ill ask him

Mblour - will i be able to get the wole front done or not?? i don't really think he will do the front at all except for the AS1 line thing

but if i can only get the as1 thing im probably not going to get it done, because they already have a small strip up there that is stock...i would prefer to get the whole front done if i could, i even told him i'd pay extra

He can do it but probably won't since he didn't even take the front sides down to 20%. You can call around different shops--I'm sure there is one near you that will do it. Since your sides are at 35% you can easily tell what your windshield will be. Many make it out to be impossible to see anything out of the windshield after tinting it. They must have poor vision.


I just posted some night pics here. You can see what 35% is like on the windshield.

Well let's say if you get some spare money and time then you can take it elsewhere. It won't take as long as you think, though. Took the guys I went to about an hour to put it on the windshield.
