I have an '01 and I've been told it's 20. Can't see why it would be any different two years later.

Thanks guys, I figured it was 20% and just needed confirmation. My last truck must have had tint over the factory tint because it was darker. Anyone tint their own windows? I'd like to get precut sheets for my front doors.

Can you see anything out your back windows at night? I rode in my buddy's car with just one layer of 5% at night and it was way too dark for me.

What do you mean you went through two rolls with no satisfaction? Like it didn't work? Do you have all the right tools?

I have the cheap tools and used my own fresh razor. Miserable failure *2. I found a guy who will have me sign a waiver. They are extremely strict out here
