    Replaced chrome badges with Sockmonkey black badges, painted billet grill black, K&N cold air intake, my corner light turn signal circuit, Speedfreek traction bars, RAAMaudio BXT/Ensolite, Stereo: Kenwood KIV-701 USB/Bluetooth deck, 10" Pioneer shallow sub behind the rear seat, Infinity 6822cf 6x8 front and rear doors, Fosgate P400-2 (sub), US Acoustics USX-4065 (four main speakers)
    I thought the guy at the window tint place told me my factory rear windows were 20% when I went in to get my front windows tinted (I went much lighter.... 35%). This was about eight years ago and a lot of cobwebs have gathered in my mind. If you want to be sure, you might stop by a established window tint place.

    Oh man, I limo tint the rear doors on the double cab and drove around at night, I can't see ANYBODY. If there's a porch light on its like a glimmering light in the horror movie. I think i'll go 35% in the rear windows and add some powered reverse lights. I did tint my front doors 35% though so I'm well within the legal limits and everything else is exempted.

    If you stop by a quality tint shop they should have the 'scales' to read your current tint, just like the LEOs do.

    The one I use won't do illegal tinting. They keep the measuring tool on hand in case an LEO makes a bad call for a customer of their work.
