Show us your window tint

I'm going to get my front windows retinted due tho the previous owner having bubbles all in the tint!

 

Yes, every idiot now has HIDs on their halogen headlights which bothers me a lot, its illegal here (HIDs = $50 ticket) but assholes have found a way around it (HIDs go off, and halogen bulb goes on when they change to high beam) so when they see a cop, they turn on their high beams to turn off the HIDs, also the sun is pretty hard (and temps) here all year, if I didn't find it useful I wouldn't have done it, believe it or not I love it at night along with the dimming mirror I put on the truck, and windshield tint is legal here.

 

I got windshield tint for the same reason as you, the bright as hell illegal HID's everyones got, sometimes I would be so blinded I couldnt see clearly. Also the glare from the sun blinding me. I got 5% on front windows and 5% on top of the 15% stock in the rear. I tinted my entire windshield 50 at first, it did the job but I really liked the look of if being "blacked-out" so I made it darker to 20%. It looks super good but its super illegal. The dark tint also helps keep your truck cool when parked, makes your a/c not have to work as hard, protects the interior from fading and thieves, and it also helps in crashes. My buddy was actually saved from flying through his winshield in a crash because of his tint. Ill post some pics when I get the chance to take them.

 

Yeah, I get migraines easily, glare from HIDs, camera flash, glare on a window etc etc really bothers me, I'm a high myope, I even switched to transition lenses because of how much light bothers me and I have to say also like the way it looks.

I want to go darker on the rear window because sometimes driving I get a lot of sun from the back and it hits me directly so while I have the A/C on and feel cool, I also feel kind of hot because the sun is on my neck, but not sure if I should go 5% or 20% since I don't want it to be too dark for me to see when going backwards at night. Good news is that I can get the windows tinted for very cheap, so I will try 5% first if I don't like it I will go with 20%

 

best of both worlds..do what i did and go with 15 percent. its dark as hell and still protects

 

35% on rear and 15% on front...



Total VLT = 10% rear, 14% front

 

i've seen your truck before and wondered what exactly you had. can you take interior pictures??

 

It's late here...and crappy weather. Tomorrow says sunny, so I'll try and post up.

 

ah thanks. i love the look of dark windows on a black truck. makes it look like there is no window

 

I'll give him a call to see if he has it, he usually only has 5,20 & 40% because its what he mostly uses.

 

Here's mine...

 

ah got ya. the shops around here have so many choices. to name a few 2.5, 5, 10, 12, 15, 20, 22, 27... you get the idea haha

 

15% on windshield, 5% on front windows, 2% on back and 10% on rear.

 

Pinnacle 35%. It actually measured 29% after installation while the back OE smoked windows measured 28.7%.

 

Pinnacle is THE BEST. Looks great. I went with Llumar ATC. The ATR had too much of a greenish tint to it...and too reflective.

 

Just got mine, 5's all around and 50 on the windshield

 

I had Llumar on a car many years ago. It held up great and looked new even after six years or so. I was very happy with it.

 

i got triple limo in the back and 15% in front i think




oh yea then added some mud tint too haha jk

 

5% on the rear (limo dark) and 35% on front...I'm in CA and never been pulled over *knock on wood*
