Its all the interior lights from the gauges and radio etc. They reflect on the inside of the glass. It isnt that bad and you learn to live with it.

I agree 20% on the front two windows. 50% the whole windshield. And 5% all the rears and you will be happy. Same type of effect as going all blacked out. The tint on the windshield will show the 2 fronts as being darker on the outside.

whats a rough estimate on who much it costs to have the two front windows tinted to match the tint of the rear door windows on a SCREW.

Actual cost for my 2011 Lariat screw front windows (2) only.

35% to match rear.

$60.00 plus tax.

I've never been pulled over specifically in any of my cars that had illegal tint just for the illegal tint. It was always as part of something else - speeding, etc - and i just happened to get tagged for the tint on top of it.

I agree you will not like the limo on the front. I've found it very hard to see out of the front windows at night with anything less than 25%. But that could be just me.

Yes i ended up doing 15% on the fron two rear windows 5% and the front windshield 50% which is clear but protects, 1 week now i havnt been pulled over yet (knock on wood), I think 15% is really good its like wearing sunglasses inside the truck.

I did 30% on my two front windows, they come really close to matching the back factory tint. Got it done for around $75.

I had limo tint on the Vette, and I loved it. That's when I was in Illinois though, it wouldn't pass inspection here in Texas.

I had mine done on my 06 chevy, the guy said it was legal, last year when i went for my inspection sticker the guy doin the inspection said he wasnt supposed to give me a sticker cause of the tint, supposedly it was darker than allowable. he was the first one that ever said anything in the 5 years i had the truck.

I've put 5% window tint on all of my vehicles and love it. I am getting it on my new FX2 this week.

35% seems like a waste of money since it is so transparent.
