Default Tinted Windows

I currently have the back windows and sunroof tinted, per factory. I was wondering if I should go darker than factory (all the way around) or just pay to only have the two fronts darkened to match everything else? What is everybodys thoughts?

It all depends on wants and where you live. Typically you can go dark as you want in the rear(even limo tint) but you cant have any tint on the driver or pass doors. At least thats the law here in illinois. If yours is different then, def tint darker all the way around. Makes the truck look a whole lot nicer.

Do what you think looks best and what you like.

Here in Texas you can do up to 25% on front windows and 5% on back windows and visor on front the windshield

Wow i was just a carsmart getting my back window done in my old truck and 2.5% wasnt even an option. They had the choices posted on the wall in the shop area. I got 5% and it was a pita to see out the back window but 2.5 would be tough. Would look awesome though and keep you getting mad at stupid ppl who dont know how to turn their brights off!!
