I just recently traded in my 2005 Focus and got this 2007 F150 STX scab, so im here from the focus forums and have just started on on the cheap/easy mods. So far i have rerouted my AUX port to my center console (hidden, like the clean look), removed the STX stickers (like the clean look), and have removed the running boards (you guessed it).


Its going in for tinting on friday, and here in Washington its %35 on driver/passenger, and anything goes in the back half. I definatly want %20 on the back (single pane) window because I have an infant who rides rear facing and the sun sucks, and those little shade things look like crap (like the clean look!). I am stuck between going %20 on the side windows with %35 on the front half, or just going %35 on all side windows. I would prefer going %20 all around, and have seen alot of cars that way, but if I HAVE to go %35 on the fronts I might rather have the look of matching side windows...

I would LOVE to seee pictures of anyones trucks with %35 fronts and %20 back (scabs or screws) to help with my decision. Next is black painted headlights (gunna do while its getting tinted) and nightshade brakelights, then level and tires.

i have 5% on my back windows and 35% on my front 2, i recently got a ticket for it so gotta peel it off and get it re done

looks like you have no stock tint on the back at all! correct? if thats the case i would go with 5% on the back because imo 20 still isn't very dark! i mean if the law has no limit on the back then why no? lol since you wanna stay legal it sounds like then 35 should be good for the front! Heres a pic of my truck with 5% over the stock on back which makes it equivalent to about 1% and 15% on front! not quite what you were asking for but should give you a good idea of what 20 is like!

Definatly, thanks. I'm going to go black on everything as well.

We have the same laws here in Ga. pretty much. I would still do the 20% on the doors. It matches perfect to the factory tint.

I use to do 5% when I was younger. I like it, but it's asking for trouble in my opinion.

flipwalter

Yeah, I have absolutly no stock tint. maybe %5 back, %20 back sides, %35 fronts? lol

flip, if you can get away with it, do it all the same, it will look the best that way
