    Limo tint on Windows, Removed all emblems, Powdercoated Rims Black
    yes. i had him tint everything including the stock windows.

    mines limo tint on all windows but the windshield. so all 4 doors and the rear windows. if i put a sun visor in the windshield you cant see in the truck by cupping your hands on the window. i have found this very usefull.

    the winshield is 35 or 40% whats technically legaly allowed on the front 2. I had a friend do it for me. he does alot of houses and imports. he did the entire vehicle for 100 bucks. he owed me tho. just the piece of film for the windshield cost HIM $45. so i basically just paid for the materials.


    also make sure if your thinking of doing the windshield that you dont rat out the tint person that did it. its $15,000 fine for them.

    hope this helps.

    first question is how did you find it useful? :D

    Second is, I think I might have worded my original post incorrectly. You said that you had him match the entire truck by tinting it, but my question is, since the rear windows come tinted already from the dealership and the fronts do not.

    I'm wondering if any of you guys just had the front tinted and left the back the way it is.

    some of this, a little of that

    That is how mine is done. Since the rear slider and two rear windows came tinted from the factory I asked my tint guy to tint the front windows only to match the preexisting darkness on the rears

    Mine is only slightly lighter than the backs. I like it that way so i can see better at night, but during the day its dark enough. You still can't see in, which is good for hot days and for theives. I wouldnt like it being the same darkness in the back and front. That way i just use my side view mirrors and my rear view never needs to be flipped for the night version!

    Don't feel bad. There is no level other than clear that's legal in California unless you have a letter from a doctor or an optometrist.

    i lived in the desert. about 120 every day the heat sucks and the windows def help kept it out.
    second reason is i like my privacy. plus i talk on the phone alot and its illegal so dark tint=no one sees wtf your doin in your truck.

    third is security. if a thief walks by they are less likely to break in if they cant even see in the window.

    there ya go amigo.
