In the last city i lived in i had 5% the whole way around. Never had an issue for a full year. It was great. In the city i live in now both places only do a max of 15%. Sorry 20%. I tried to get 15% but they wouldnt do it.

Had mine done strictly for the function, the morning and evening sun can be brutal on the eyes as well as create a driving hazard, namely a 3 ton hunk of iron rolling down the road with a partially blinded driver.
Don't care what anyone thinks it looks like, it's my truck, I pay the note I will do what I want with it period.
With that said I don't look at it much except from the inside out but paying attention to it now, it looks ok to me so to each his own.

^this. I usually end up driving directly into the sun when going to work and same thing driving home. I cannot use the visors as when down they completely block my view. Wearing sunglasses helps but the combo of sunglasses and strip is perfect.

I went ahead and matched the front windows to back windows. The shop sells it as 15% but if you look at the film manufacture's specs, they say it is 18% VLT. I also did a 5% brow. It is just above my line of sight, but it will take some getting used to. One thing I noticed is that the tint shop moved my rear view up a few inches. It used to be below the F150 logo, but now it is about in the middle of it. Is that normal?

I'd go back and make them redo it and put your mirror back where it belongs.

There is a cut out for the mirror in the tint. If they move the mirror, there will be an open spot in the tint.
