^ thanks for the link - good stuff. I'm leaning 30-35% rears and fronts 50% if they can do it. Windshield I guess I'll have to leave factory...

Windshield tint in NY will definitely land you a hefty fine...Unless you have a NY PBA card, smart decision to leave as-is.

If it would stop raining I would try to get some pics of mine.... We just had them match the factory stuff on the rears, and it came out nearly perfect... I wouldn't mind a tad bit darker, but the GF complains about night time driving...

For those whose state bans tint on the front... I found out something interesting, the last time I went to bring my truck in for an inspection... My front windows are 1 point over our limit here in Louisiana and the first place I brought it to, denied me, and gave me a temp inspection sticker... But the guy that was going to do the inspection hinted me off on a little trick, that I didn't even know existed... But he said to go to my optomistrist(preferably one I know good) and check into getting a specific prescription that bypasses that law. Of course it probably wouldn't solve the problem of getting pulled over in the first place, but will get you out of paying a fine. :dunno:

Oh...the trick to getting an inspection sticker when your front windows are illegally tinted, is to go on a sunny day, and roll down your windows BEFORE you roll up to the station...:banghead: :thumbup:

Wow those don't seem very dark but I guess each state has it's different laws especially up north they don't allow it to be too dark. Here in TX the "law" is 35% on the sides and 20% on the rear from what I remember. I have 35% on my front driver/passenger--matchs well with the climate package. Although here you do see some abusing it and doing limo tint (5%).

What's the % on the rears with the factory tint with the rear climate package?
