Here the legal limit is 35% for the front windows and 20% for the back. I think it looks completely stupid to have my back windows at 20% and my front windows at 35% so I had them put 20% all the way around and it looks awesome… totally illegal but awesome. If I ever get pulled over for any reason, I plan to roll down all my windows so they can see inside my truck and hopefully ignore the dark window tint

 

Texas law says 25% on front and back windows and any tint for the rear. it said this:

Side MirrorsDual side mirrors are required if back window is tinted.


what does that mean? and what would my 01 screw have on it? 20% stock?

 

doin some research theres a couple different types of tint. whats the best?

 

well, In my hometown of Millstadt Ill, the cops WILL pull out a blade and remove it themselves. Crazy aint it?

 

That's more then crazy, that's down right WRONG! It seems to me that some of your rights are being violated. I mean for them to open a person's car and start removing tint?!?!? It also seems like a good lawsuit after they ended up scratching your windows, which honestly isn't hard to do at all!

as far as the question of window tint types...3M makes an excellent automotive film.

 

seen it first hand, that's what they did to my brothers car when he got pulled over for it and I've heard of several other people having the same thing happen.

 

That's what I did when I got stopped last year; I rolled both front windows down so the cop couldn't see the tint. After my experience in CA I didn't want to have to re-tint my truck!

 

hmmm....so dont go too dark, got it. lets take a poll:

whats yalls tint numbers, front and back.

 

Windshield: 35% with a 5% strip up top (11 inches)
Front doors: 5% over 15%, it meters in the 1.5% range.
Rear doors: 3 layers of 15%, also meters in the 1.5% range.

I love it!

 

Mine was on when I bought it but it seems to be about 20% - 25% on all four side and the rear windows.
