2 more tint Q's and I'm done
Sorry about posting more tint questions, but I need opinions on if I should get 5% or 2.5 % on the three rear windows. I'm not really worried about seeing out the windows at night, but will I be able to see out them during the day? I'm only going 35% on the front two windows so those arent a problem. Also, do tint companies charge you more the darker you go or is it all one price? I know it all probably depends where you go, but I would like to know from you. Thanks.

a lot of times its one price, unless you are gettin an illegal % done, then they will charge you more and often dont honor the normal warentee on it, and personally i would not go that dark, but thats me and im not a big fan of the look of 2 different darknesses on the windows, i would do like 20 maybe, or 20 on the front 2 then go darker on back

i wouldnt do 5% tint. its a PIA. lets very little light in, and you cant see out at night worth a dam..
i had 5% all the way around...
very little light let inside the truck..
cant see thru the tint even with the sun brighter than hell
*the bes isnt jacked up on this picture, the front end was on jack stands and i had em crooked to check fro rubbing)
heres another picture of how dark it really makes the inside.. ignore the myspace crap lol.

If your not driving at night then 5% is perfect for the back windows makes you truck seem like a cave, but its not problem to see out of. I have 5% on my front windows just because you can stare at all the other people looking at your ride and they have no idea. As for tint comapnies the ones who did mine just said pay cash and its no problem because it is illegal and last time I checked the ticket ran you about $180 out of pocket. Also, I would recommend the 1 inch strip the put across the top of your front windshield, not only does it make the truck look mean, but also helps when you drive during the day time because the sun doesnt touch your eyes a bit. And when you get it keep in mind that your windows cant be rolled down for a good 3 days so everything cures properly. Hope this advice works.

This thread ain't too old, so I'll dig it up.
I have a question about the supercab rear side windows. You know how they have a small border of like little black dots?
Well there's a local tint guy that I went to school with, and my friend had his car done by him. But this tint guy cant get the tint to stickbetween the dots things around the edge. So it kind looks like there are bubbles in the tint. Would a professional place have the ability to do tint and fill the gaps between the bubbles? Cause I don't want those bubbles on my car.

Oh cool. Would a razor blade work too? Cause the guy I wanna use is a lot cheaper than any pro place around. If I could just take the dots off myself I'd save a lot of money cause my car only has 2 windows that would need to have them removed.

here is a few tint sites on it

there is 10 pages on different ways to take care of it there have fun reading
I have witnessed wet sanding with 1200 grit before it worked well its not so much removing all of them but making the height of them a lot lower, thus stopping the "white band of death" that you get...
