    Thinking of getting my windows tinted.

    Thinkin 20% on the driver pass and MAYBE an eyebrow 5%?

    Will 20% match the back glass and extra cab windows well? Should I tint the rears?

    Would 5% brow look funny? (5% is what they reccomended).

    $75 for the side windows (2) and another $20 for a brow...

    Thoughts pictures suggestions welcome

    do it! disclaimer: no joke, i've received about a dozen tint tickets in 14 years of driving(CA). i preferably need 5%(limo) tint due to: heat, single cab, comfort, anxiety, and lights at night which near blind me(night-blindness, ive heard one can actually get a tint prescription from an optometrist for this and exempt tickets). IMO the brow attracts law enforcement more and disturbs field of view(hence visors). Start with the 2 front n see how you like it. Ive seen some extra cabs with an almost metallic tint to them which i would just remove first(steamers work great). at night i cant see a damn out my back window w/o the help of brighter reverse lights.

    I did 15 on the front windows, I like it but its a little darker or just as dark as the rears now (gonna do 5% on the rears I think..). I had em do a visor but dont like it id rather do a full windshield tint :cool:

    I dont THINK I have the metalic tint on the xtra cab windows..
