    I believe factory tint on front doors is 50%, I could be wrong.

    Good choice :p It's what I would do to mine but it's not high on the priority list lol

    Yes it is. On trucks and SUV's the only restrictions are on the front 2 doors and the windshield. Trucks and suv's come factory tinted at 20% and it's known as "privacy glass". The 35% min on rear glass only applies to cars.

    Yeah Jacob is right the only restrictions on trucks and suvs are on the front two doors and windshield. Back can be dark as you want.

    Figured this was fitting, dark can be as dark as you want, front can't be darker then 35 and your eyebrow cannot pass the ASA line or be longer then 5" also you're not allowed to have anything on the windshield.

    Just posting the facts I found. A lady I work with would be interested in an official document stating what you believe is legal. Let me know if you find it.

    not allowed to tint below the ASA line on the front,Brother-in-law and i talked about this yesterday, he's instructed his guys to ticket for it and if the tint is too dark. He doesnt give you the option of removing it, he and his guys ticket. Hes a Lt. over uniformed police down here.

    I don't take anyones word for granted. Leo are only human.

    North Carolina G.S. 20-127 sub C sub 9 clarifies the rear windows of trucks. Looks like it doesn't apply to cars. Thanks for the reference.
