When I got this truck I was thinking, "it's not a sports car and there are so many other things I want to do to it, so tint doesn't need to be a priority." Well, now I miss it a lot and I'm going to get it done I'm just not sure on how dark I should go and if I want those half windows to match the fronts.
On my 96 Mustang GT I went with 15% all around. When a small Asian girl totaled that, I got a 95 SHO and put 20% all around. Both of those were green cars and I think it looked really sharp.
Now two factors that I'm not sure if I should consider or not is one, the truck is black. Two, do I match those little windows or go darker.

Here's a couple pics,







Thanks in advance!

 

I would go 15% all the way around. Its hard to tell if the back are at 15% but thats what I would do.

 

35% windshield
5% fronts and over factory rear

 

15% at least. I've got 15 over stock 35, and I still want to go darker

 

The rear is 20% stock

but go 5% over stock cant see in no matter what

What's the legal limit? That's the biggest question I think. Maybe go just a tad darker then that so you don't get tickets.

I have 35% on my front two windows, factory tint on extended cab glass and back glass. It matches good...and its legal here in NC.

 

As long as you don't go over the legal limit, go as dark as you like! I went 35% on the doors and 18% on the other windows as for me since 5% is too dark but that is what works for me.

 

5%..... nuff said!

 

haha another tint thread lmao

5%....end of story

 

I put 20% over factory in the rears, but I have legal 35% on the side.

Once it's not a DD, I'll go darker again

 

0% on front windows and over factory rear and a low sunstrip that's 5% on windshield I can look at the sun without hurting my eyes with my tints

 

5% on the windshield? Are you nuts? How do you see while driving at night?

Edit: nvm i miss read it and thought you had the whole front windshield tinted 5%.

 

State PD in MA are stopping vehicles for blk’d out windows. they carry a meter that will measure the percentage.

keep the legal part in mind just in case.

 

x2...cops here in PA are tint *****

And where is this stated or is just word of mouth ?

 

Missouri has tint meters now. I got a ticket over the summer

 

cops in PA have a tint meter but its kinda primitive lol...its a badge on the back of their ticket book...they hold that at a certain distance in the inside from the window and if they cant see it you get a ticket

 

Here ya go.
Window tint allowed , by state.

nebraska cops have the little lazer thing that has a sensor that reads how much light passes through the tint to tell.


35% for the front
20% for rear. i believe which is legal in nebraska after checking that site yeah.

i did manage to get away with 12% on my mustang...but after dark. it was way to dark to see.

I'm legal but that says sedan suv or van. Nothing about pick ups. So I guess there's no law.

 

Trucks aren't exempt

 

yeah you won't get away with it saying that >.<

 

Lol i have a medical exemption so it really doesn't matter. I get pulled over often but they don't do much just check my Medical card and send me on my way. The town i live in currently doesn't bother, they just know the truck
