Check out my pictures ..when i got my tahoe the rear windows i think were tinted more than stock. I tinted the front windows at 5 percent i think it was the lowest the guy could go. If your cars black it really looks good i think.

I have all of my windows done to 5% and 45% on the windshield. I absolutely love how it looks, and you can have your eyes touching the glass and not be able to see anything inside.

I dont really have any great pics of it though, sorry. The only thing I can say that is a little annoying, is that you have to roll down the windows every time you backup at night. And if you do go 5% and dont have HIDs, get them. Haha

im happy with factory tint on my esky.. my ranger i run 5% all the way around, none on windshield, keep in mind if you do windshield and get into an accident your insurance might not cover it even if its not your fault

I definitely noticed a decrease is visibility at night, but it was a lot better once I got some HID's. It really isnt bad though and I do not have any issues when I am driving at night. I wouldnt go lower than 45% though on the windshield

tinted to 5% between factory and aftermarket on the back, 14% (IIRC) on the front windows, 5% eyebrow. I'm happy with it. you can sort of see in the back windows with the sun coming through the windshield, usually throw a reflective thing in it when its sitting for a while or in a "less then friendly" place.

no pictures of it really. had 5% on the side windows of a previous ride, never again. night driving was terrible (although i was blessed with this ******** over light sensitive eye condition as well, headlights are killer :( )

on mine the front 2 doors are 35% the back two are 5% (over factory tint) along with the cargo area sides and the barn doors are 20% (over the factory tint) I just did the barn doors a lil lighter so its easier to see at night backing up and did the front the 35% so they don't break my balls about it being too dark, overall it looks great since my truck is black
