    I got 15% and it's darker then the back in most cases. (installer said it match but i guess im ocd) Kinda makes me sad going to get the tints done in the back. I hate it when the tint in the back are darker then the fronts. Lol

    I say go 20%

    I was shooting with a police officer this morning and wondered if he'd say anything about my 20% tint, but he didn't. I was thinking hard about what I was going to say if he brought it up, lol.

    No, he wasn't on duty and he's a friend of a friend, so I'm glad he either didn't notice or didn't care. It was 32 degrees this morning, so we were more concerned about shooting and staying warm I guess.

    I also work with the wife of a local cop and she has limo tint on her car, so I guess it's not the worst crime in the world.

    5% on front two and do 20% on the back half? that what i got but if you get 15% all around i bet it will look good and dark.

    Well, 20% will cost half because you only have to do the fronts and it'll match the back. So, no - I wouldn't pay twice as much to do the entire truck 5% darker.
