Default Tint

I have a regular cab with faded tint that I want to get re done. I can't come to a decision for percents... Legal here is 28 front 15 back.

Anyone with a regular cab post your pics and percents! Any input or opinions appreciated.

I'm thinking 15 or 5 back, 15-30 up front. Really can't decide.

I like the fronts to match the factory rear window tinting, so I go with 15 percent. 5% is a little too dark for me at night- but that is my opinion.

I'd go with what is legal that way you dont have the police pullin you over all the time the cops here pull people over all the time for tint and our limits are 35 in front and 0 in rear

+1 for legal chief. I got pulled over in my car a couple years ago and the cop made me peel my tints right then and there.

No inspection down here and 99% don't even notice tint let alone write tickets, only on top of something else you could get busted for it I'm pretty sure.

I keep thinking 5 on back, 28 side would be good. With 5 on the back that legal 28 would still look pretty dark.

I kept it legal.

It would suck to have to peel your tint off.

I would think that 5 on the back with 28 on sides would make that 28 seem dark, yet it's still legal.

If I was to go illegal I'd radther it be on the back than the sides...

Why is it so hard to come up with a % combo...
