Ya but I've talked to guys around my area about their tinted windows, and none of them have ever been bothered.

Yes lifetime warranty as long as I own the truck. I talked to him for a solid hour and he recommends 5% on the back and 20% on the front. If I put 20 on the front he said will look more like 10% because there is no light getting in.

I'm looking into tinting my front windows, but I'm debating between 20%, 30%, or 35%.

Are the rears on these 20%? I know they are on the supercabs but not sure about the supercrews?? Anyone have their stock rear tint with a lighter tint up front to be "more" legal?

The factory tint on all of these trucks is 20%. I'm probably going to be putting 5% on all of my rears on my supercab, and 20% on the 2 front windows plus a 5% brow on the windshield.

When you tint the front door windows and a strip accoss the front, the entire inside will darken. I have used 35% on the fronts of my last 4 vehicles and it looked great.

In GA, quite a few of the cops carry meters to test the tint.... so beware of going darker than 35%. I believe the law is 32% or something like that. Your windows may come with some tint from the factory. 35% may be borderline legal with factory tinted windows.

I tinted my wifes camaro with 20% all around and looked beautiful! Chickened out and changed the front windows to 35% before she got back in town. There wasn't that much difference between the 20% and 35% because the rest of the windows didn't allow much light in. The only time you could really notice a difference was when strong sunlight shined directly through the windshield.

Here in Ontario cops don't have meters so they can't prove what percent I have. The law here I made a mistake earlier is no tint at all but they allow 35% but I want the 20% and 5% in rears.
