I want to tint my windows, Lets see yours.

Hey everyone I am tiring to get an idea of how are trucks look with tinted windows. I have a black truck, I was thinking of going with the same amount of tint as what the back window is. SO has anyone done there front windos like the back windos plus let me see darker ones to.

All other color trucks welcome also

anyone from FL? DAMN they tint their windows dark!

In high school we always joked that in Florida, if you get pulled over you could point a gun at a cop as he walks up to your door and he would never know.

Jay, I tinted the side glass to match the back and it`s perfect. I think you`ll like it.

I was ticketed for the front and had to take it up to the lines. I roll the sides down before I even stop when pulled over.

The law in Florida says:
Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 28% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 15% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 15% of light in.

IMO I think that if you observe the speed limit and drive safely, the police/sherrif/troopers will not stop you if you have 20% on the sides (which happens to match the back perfectly).

I'm gonna have mine put on at 20%, wether the tint shop wants to give me a receipt or not. I dont care, I'll chance it.

Anybody else from Florida care to comment?

When I was ticketed for the front. I had no clue why I was even pulled over. It was specifically for the tint. The ticket was cheap and all I had to do was comply.

50% whole front windsheild with a 4% 13" strip

The sides registered 2% on the Alabama State Troopers Meter

First let me say thanks for all the responses. A lot of your trucks look real nice. I can't belive some of you guys are tinting the front windows. that seems just nuts.

Jim where did you get yours done. Got any pics.
