    Good morning Patriots, I just tinted the front windows my taco with nano ceramic tint.

    I noticed that it has a "cooler" color temp look to it, while the back (stock) has a "warmer" color temp.

    I spoke with the shop who tinted the truck and he said that it's not the tint but the color of the glass in the rear window. He said he can put lightest nano ceramic on the back to try an match the front as far as color temp.

    My question is, is this true in terms of the rear window is not tinted but the glass is colored?

    He also suggested a cheaper option of tint, nano carbon I think. But im not sure if that has a warmer color

    Here is a pic for yall

    Tint guy surely knows if he's looking at a tint job vs colored glass. My AC CB rear glass is certainly 'colored'.

    Is your front tint darker than the back?

    My dealer told me something along the lines of the rear already having factory tint...so perhaps the glass?

    It
    It looks darker because of the color temp. The back from factory is 20% they measured it. The front is 25%
