I always liked white trucks with highly tinted windows. The contrast just look perfect.

You'll get stopped for sure. And they def look at tint u less they are cool. Front window is an instant failure.

Looks good though. Suck driving in tigh spots at night cause you can't see a damn thing.

I'm not too worried about it. I haven't driven it much since yesterday because I can't roll the windows down.

Hopefully your tint laws aren't enforced. Looks good though.

Now what do you say about the tint laws here? I know the PD had those tint meter things but I have never heard of anyone here getting hassled for dark tint. Do they enforce it at all?

Looks good. I wouldn't have done 5% on the front windows myself....but it still looks good.

I have 10% (I believe...previous owner did it....could be 15%). Its perfect in my opinion.

My Bronco has 20% on the front and 5% on shell windows and back window. You can't see much of anything at night, unless there's a light source behind it. You for sure can't see in at night...impossible. And you can barely see in during the day.

Colorado's tint laws are no darker then 26%....but i've never had an issue. *Knock on wood*

Another thing I have on my Ranger is a tinted windshield "brow." I didn't think i'd like it when I first bought the truck, but its definitely grown on me.

You can't see at night but no1 can see in any of your windows. Just be careful at night. Taking turns sucks

So how long should I wait to roll down my windows? My friend got his done yesterday too and they told him to wait 72 hours. He got his done at a different place though.
