Default Tint Options

Dropping my truck off to get windows tinted tomorrow and I cant make up my mind on whether or not to have a strip of tint added to the front windshield down to about the rear view mirror. Likely going with 15% on all windows.. just worried that It'll be a little too dark inside with the added strip. Truck is Tuxedo black w/ black interior. Opinions?

Does your truck have some type of tint already on the windows or are they all just clear?
If no tint go 5% all the way around it is not to dark. If you go 15% you will regret it and want 5%. Got 20% in front 5% in the rear and front is too light.

I have the brow on my front windshield and I love it. You'll be surprised how much more it blocks out. Hardly ever have to put the visors down.

I"m going 15% front and back, nothing on the windshield for now but may go with ceramic just to cut down on the heat. My rear window is already factory privacy tinted.

Any idea what the tint on the back window privacy glass is? Meaning the rear window and slider, not the back doors

Factory tint is around 20%. I wouldn't go any darker. Too difficult to see out of at night. I'm not crazy about windshield strips either. You only see the young kids with their ricers doing it around here.

I agree most of the time. Truck and interior are black tho so I won't stick out so much
