F150 Screw Tint

Anyone here have F150 Super Crew with front windows at 25% tint (photo)?

I am trying to find out what would look best on my truck, live in TX and I understand the front windows can be no more than 25%.

What have you guys done? Does it look better to try and match the front and back windows?

Thanks in advance!

I have 15% on the fronts and it pretty much matches the back perfectly. (factory is around 18)

There's pics in my gallery, the limit in Missouri is 35% but I haven't had any trouble in the year and a half I've had the tint..

this isnt in the right section

and in texas you can still get a ticket for anything under 35%. but you can pass inspection with 25%

you can have 5% and pass inspection...roll down windows and pull fuse...you dont need side windows to pass inspection (tell the inspector the windows are broken), but if they are there the must by 35% or higher to be legal...

Factory privacy glass is 18%, 15% or 20% tint. I have 20% all around and think its perfect.





My state limit is 35% up front, never pulled over yet in the 6 months its been done.

35% is legal limit in KS. I went with 20% for a better match. No troubles, so far.

I have 20% in front and on tint strip to match the factory tint. I also put 20% tint on the back window OVER the factory 20% to make it extra dark.

25% is legal in TX. I tinted just the front windows with 20% and can't imagine anything else matching the factory better. I've never been jacked with about my tint, it's not That dark.

Thanks for all the replies guys!

Think I will try to find a place to put 20% on, think I will like it!

The 5% looks pretty sharp from the outside, but think it will be too dark for me from the inside.

Thanks again for all the responses.. even with being in the wrong section lol.

texas

I live in texas and I have 11% on the front and 2.5% on the rears. Never been messed with and some inspection shops dont care. Some do If they do then role the windows down and pull the fuse as stated above. They wont check.
