Not really my cup of tea re tinting as it's a bit full on. I'd guess around 10 - 15% at the rear and a tad higher (maybe not??) for the front. Wow, check out the windscreen even. Wouldn't get away with that here in Aust.
To each his own I guess.
These are the pics I had posted of DropTopBM. Its 5% on the windshield. Its a 4.8is lowered, trim painted, etc. Tint is by Lorenzo Tint in Bronx.

Here is some pics of the tint that I got done on my X. Its 5% which during the summer is UNBEATABLE!!! Get a windshield shade and your car (mainly the leather) will stay cool inside. As a warning though, backing up at night requires a roll down of the windows rain or shine. But my daughter (3yrs) loves the difference now and never gets the sun in her eyes.

Lol.. ooh i get it now.. anyway, I'm sure i can answer my own question. Anyone with front window tints MUST get their chops busts, unless they themselves are cops.

Love the truck though.. very cool looking

I love the look but the cops in my town wouldn't allow it. My rear's read 5% and my fronts used to read under 20% and then one night a couple years back when one of the town cops decided he didn't like my tint, he wrote me a ridiculous ticket, like $2250 (250 for every window with tint) and then told me that if i change my front to a legal 35% than he would rip the ticket up.

I complied and he ripped the ticket up.. I don't want to push buttons here, its a very small town with only 8 cops total and about 2300 residents.


So Tamba, do you get the same treatment?? It look great.
