ok so i have a 2002 F150 SCrew and i was wanting to get the Front and both front side windows tinted to match the back windows with are like a stock but pretty dark and i want them to match

anyone know the stock % tintage? on those back windows lol

 

Pretty sure the stock rears are 18%, so getting the fronts done at 15% should match perfectly considering the extra light coming in from the windshield.





This is when I originally had the 15% on the fronts....

 

20% is close as well, it depends on where you go to get your tint, 15-20%. wal-mart sells 20%, and some tints shops sell and/or install either 15%, 18%, or 20%.

 

Anywhere in the 13%-20% will be very close, 15% is probably the closest. Different shops use different tints with different percentages. More importantly, make sure you use a well recommended shop. The right percentages don't matter if the installer sucks.

 

Also just saw you said you wanted to do the front as well. I had my front tinted at 35% and recently put 5% over everything else.



This thread shows you 35% on the front and 15% on the front sides...I got the 5% put on around page 3.

Check this link below. Some states had a different level of allowed front window tinting. Where I live the actually stripped off the tinting when I bought my last vehicle which came from a state with no laws on tinting. Bastards even charged me for it also!

damn nice trucks, i love the nice dark windows i hate my front bieng able to see me its like looking in with the window down

and thanks for the help with the window tint

i also asked a friend the local shop that put his on, his film started peeling at the very bottom of his window, so im not sure if i should take it to that shop but theres not really another shop in town that can do that

and yea i like all your trucks a ton, infact i asked for a truck like yours brianjwilson but i KNOW im not gonna get it lol

thanks and anyone know how much a price would be to get the front and frontsides done?

 

It cost me about $60 to do the front two windows and $100 to do the windshield.

 

oh man, thats not bad price at all, and im assuming that its totally worth it

i know it would be for me that is

 

yo another question

my friend said they can't do my windshield ... which really annoys me i kinda want it to be a bit darker not much just a tad bit...could they still get it done or not?

 

Call around--someone should be able to do it. The only reason they couldn't do the windshield is the small dot pattern around where it says "F-150". That or they're just lazy and don't want to do it.

 

They don't want to tint the windshield due to liability, and I can't say I blame them.
They are already tinting windows darker than legal, and tinting the windshield is taking a big risk on their part. I'll just say that, if I owned a tint shop, I wouldn't do it either.
The dot pattern is inside the glass and wouldn't affect tint application.
One thing you will notice is that once you tint the side windows, it will not be as easy to see in the windshield anyway. The interior will be much darker which will make the tilted windshield reflect a lot more outside light. A small strip of tint on the top of the windshield would also help.

 

The rears are 18% solar tinted.

15% - 20% best matches them.

 

That's what I thought as well but the guy that tinted my windshield had to go check mine out to make sure they could do it. He said some have the dots on the outside. A friend of mine had his mustang tinted, and said they couldn't do it because the dot pattern was outside the glass.

 

ah ok, so basically all i should need is my windshield top and the front side, eh shouldn't be too bad

oh yea and bjwilson, i REALLY like your truck lol
