Getting my front windows tinted next week and just wondering what every is running on their windows. Oregon is 35% on the front so most likely I'll stay with that but wondering if I should add more to the backs.

if you do 20% up front, it will match the rear. However, if cops are a PITA in your area, stick with legal.


There's a lot of threads about this already. Do a search...

I went darker than stock with 18% on the fronts on our 2011. The shop I used recommended this because the light coming through theses big ass windshields makes the front tint look lighter. It's not "legal" however it blends perfect with the stock tint in the rear! Left the rears stock.

I have 35% on the front and 15% over factory on the back. I'm considering going darker on the front though. I like it really dark so you can't see in and the 35% just isn't dark enough for me.

15% over the rear windows and 35% on the front, thinking of going darker in the font and doing the top of the front windshield in 5% for the sun glare.

Keep in mind tgat clear glass with the greenish hue is between 25-30%....

That is something most dont know when they get front windows tinted.

So when u add ANY film to that....99% of the time ur to dark.

^^^This is exactly what I got on the avalanche recently. It matches the back perfectly with 18% :imo:

Do it! I did the 5% brow and it helps with the sun glare so much.
