Not to hijack your thread but I was thinking of getting mine tinted once I get my new truck. Does it look Ok with 35%? Here in Iowa you can legally only go to 70%. So I don't want to be too dark but would still like the fronts tinted a little. I'm not too concerned if I'm legal or not just want to know if 35% looks decent?

I could probably get away with more as I live in the boonies, but I found that anything darker than 35% makes it quite difficult to see when it's dark out.
I've put 35% on my front windows in my last 2 trucks, and plan on the same with my next one.
This isn't the best photo, but here is 35% on the fronts and the standard factory tint on the back.
[I know - I know - it's an '08 and I'm posting in the '09 section - just wanted to give an example]

I asked my dealer just to match the tint. It came back perfectly and you cannot tell the difference. Can you just ask the installer to match as well? Also, there has been a recent crack down of tint in my area as well. Multiple officers in my area have stated that if you put the windows down when you are pulled over, they wont have a big problem with the tint (just don't go overboard with limo tint!).

My installer said 15% matched, I was a little skeptical, however once I received my truck back, it matched perfectly, we don't have that big of a problem getting pulled over here in southern indiana, I had 5% all the way around on every one of my previous vehicles for the last 8 years and never a bother.

I have 30% on the front. I think it looks alright.

Now that my eyes are getting older and I tow a lot of stuff I prefer the lighter tint. As long as it keeps the heat out and I can pick my nose in traffic I am happy. The local tint shop has a 28% film that passes the tester. That it what I got on the fronts. I think I did 20 over the rears.
