Your truck looks good.

Does the tint cover the full window, or is there a strip all the way around each window where the window fits into the weather-stripping?

I'm in the great state of Georgia and have 5% over 15% all the way around with no problems... Knowing everybody in town might help too!

Looks good. Tint is always the first thing I do to any of my vehicles. I did 5% all the way around.

One2nine, is that white under your headlights to make it look like a f250 style? Never seen that but looks good!

I had 5% on my last car. I do love it but it's hard for me to see around corners at night unless the streets are lighted. When I lived in Las Vegas it was not a problem at all! North Dakota is just a little more rural...

I tinted my fronts at 18% and left the backs factory. You really have to look hard to tell a difference between the two. Ohio law is 50% on the front, but that is in no way dark enough. That said, I feel that any darker then 15% is just to dark for me, but to each his own. This is the first time I have tinted windows and after doing it, I had to ask myself why I didn't do it to any of my previous vehicles.

The PO of my truck had the fronts tinted to match the rears (which I believe is 20%)

I'd be happy as a hog in sh*t if I could do 35% on the front. Here you can't even sign a waiver, there is a law that the tint installer gets tickets if it's darker than legal......

I got stopped a few times on my previous vehicles for tint, it's just not worth the hassle to me.

Hmm...Iowa law is apparently 70% for the fronts, no restrictions on the rear or back.
