    not so low, not so slow 2006 6 lug
    stockish
    iirc 30% front windows
    extended visor at 5%
    rear glass is 20% over the factory privacy glass.

    Id think long and hard about going with something like 5% on the fronts... My buddy owns a shop and Ive seen people (with tacomas too), ask for 5% fronts. My buddy told them, "are you sure u want to go that dark? It may be hard to use your side mirrors at night".
    They said "yes"

    he did as they wished with no problem....he just wanted to make sure they were 100% sure.

    I seen the same truck back the next day, or maybe it was a couple days later. I asked my buddy what was wrong with the tint job, and he said "the owner said he couldnt see in his mirrors well enough at night and wants to step up to a lighter film"

    5% limo over factory tint on rear 3, 20% on front 2. Backing up in a dark place requires open windows all around. When I return to my truck I got in the habit of walking around the back to check clearance. Added benefit: a-holes behind me with misaligned headlights no longer bother me, and I never have to adjust my rearview mirror!

    Lowered 3/4, debadged, led tails, projector headlights with hids, billet grill, blacked out windows, painted front and rear bumper and grill shell. Inside, 4 crappy 15's, suede wrapped headliner and door panel inserts, alpine double din, few painted pieces inside, and every led is either blue or white.
    5% all around, 35% on the windshield with a 5% strip, and two layers of 5% on the bak glass.

    It really isn't that bad backing up at night. And I've gotten a ticket once for the tint but I got pulled for something else. Besides that I haven't had any problems.

    30% in the front windows, to pretty much match the rear. Installed for 2+ years and haven't had any issues in our state that doesn't allow ANY tint in the front windows.

    I went 35% on the front 2, left the factory 20% on the back doors, 5% on the rear. 35% is the legal limit here on the front, I could have went darker on the back doors but I like the graduated look. I've had vehicles before with darker tint but I like to see now, getting older makes that harder, plus I don't like getting stopped just for a tint check. Even my small town police force has a tint meter now. I like the people that say you get use to not seeing out at night, Helen Keller said the same thing I guess, but it's their vehicle to do with what they want and it all just personal opinion.

    I have 20 on the front, stock tint in the rear which I think is just slightly lighter then 20.

    The 20 is nice, but can be somewhat annoying at night if your driving in a unlit area. And I have to drop the windows when backing up.

    Well worth it though :cool:
