    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    I think it was 20-25% added to the factory smoke tint to = 5% limo tint in the rear, windshield and 50% added to the front driver and passenger side:

    5% in the back over privacy, and 15% in the front. Pinnacle.

    Just got everything tinted this past weekend.

    5% all rears / 35% fronts / 50% windshield - $230 for everything.

    The 5% on the rear window makes things a bit tricky backing up at night so I'm glad I have the back up camera installed. I was hoping for a noticeable contrast between the different shades so things don't appear to dark and I don't draw the attention of the cops. Apparently the 5% on the back turned my truck into a black hole and everything looks really dark from the outside. If I had to do it over again I'd at go 70% on the windshield and maybe 50% on the fronts or just keep the 35%


    50% on the windshield, 35% on the front windows

    35% on the front, 5% on all the rears (20% over the factory 20%)

    15% on fronts. First pic makes it look a little darker than it is, and the second pic for some reason looks like it was taken through a bottle of Windex lol. I want to go back and get my back window darker.

    Measured at 3% all the way around. Love how it looks, and love people not being able to see in the most.

    Nothing on the windshield, if I move, I will do it, probably pretty light, its dark enough inside already with the lack of light from most angles! Sucks backing up at night, have to roll my windows down, but I'm using it as an excuse to get a backup camera!

    I am in the 3% range, noone can see inside which I love. It does make backing up a bit of a challenge, but I have PIAA foglights attached to the rear bumper and a reverse camera. I just ordered the bed rail light bar so another 2 or 3 lights might help. I will have to post pics once everything is installed.

    I got stopped by the cops on I-17, 20 miles south of Flagstaff,, Thought it was because I was speeding, which I was by about 8 mph over speedlimit,, But it turned out to be because of my tinted windows which were at 13%. Had to pay an $80 fine. Cop didnt bother on giving me a repair warning, straight citation!!!

    I have no complaints at all about them, although I did get stuck in my yard and had to shovel myself out. But I think that has more to do with the fact that there was over 3 feet of snow.....lol
