I must say your tint does look really good! Your truck looks bad *** to

I did 18% and it looks perfect. I think 15-18 is the best IMHO. It's always affected by how much light is coming in through the windshield etc.

Here is another older picture that shows the tint a little bit better in brighter light.

And thank you sir.

I can neither confirm nor deny the legality of my window tint but I went with 35% up front and 20% in the back (started with nothing because mine's an STX).

You lose one point for failing to comprehend the original posters query.

My dealer refused to tint the windows beyond legal limits in Texas. I don't know the % but mine are the max that Texas law allows.

Damnit... who told the reading comprehension police to raid this party?

What's a two-point violation? Just curious.

Got mine back today. Dunno what % they put on the front but I know it's lighter than the rear. They totally jacked the brow so I asked them to remove it. I should have gone somewhere that would do it a little darker. $60 for the front two doors which look great but are a hair too light in my opinion. I'll post a pic up when I get back over to my garage this PM.
