    Used to have tint all the way around. 1% on the back/back doors, 4% on front doors, and 43% on the front windsheild. I loved it. I could leave my truck parked outside without any shade in AZ and it wouldnt get hot inside.

    Had it for almost 3 years without any problems with the law but the first time I took my truck to CA, CHIP pulled me over. Then a month ago, DPS on the 101 pulled me over for speeding and then noticed my front windows (35% is legal on the front and I had 4%). So now, I just have the rear at 1%. Going to re tint the front doors but probably going to stay within the legal limit.

    2% on the rears, 15% on the front sides with a 5% eyebrow. Mine is very dark:D I have to use my back up fogs at night so i can see, or open up the door and peek out back to make sure there are no cars back there

    I have Llumar airblue 80 on the front windshield you can't tell it's there (no one has noticed it since I got the truck) blocks 43 percent solar heat and 99 uv. I noticed a difference in the cab.

    I have 5% all around with 35% on full windshield. After awhile I got adjusted to it driving at night. I love it.
