No more fishbowl! 20% on the back three, 35% on the front two.
For $26 and my first time tinting EVER, I'm happy with it. Took about 5 hours from start to finish, going SLOOOOW, and with a lunch break. Every window has minor flaws (the front two are the worst), but from more than a couple feet away it looks pretty much perfect, even the worst window.

looks good man.
you said you had a hard time with the fronts. on Silverados I remove the whole window and bring it inside and tint them on the kitchen table. it's so much easier. I just did both my fronts a few weeks ago and it took about an hour including removing and installing the windows.
good job with the rear glass though. that one gives me the most trouble.

As fort the back window, I got my Mom to help move it from outside to inside the truck.

For $26, I'll order another kit, and redo it one window at a time when time permits, but they're all good enough for now.

yeah they look great. and i think 35% looks good on the front windows. its not too dark that you"ll have to worry about cops giving you crap. although, i got asked to take mine off by a cop. thats why i just re did them. I'm not doing the back one again though. I have a factory tinted window i got from work. I'm going to just have it installed

Yeah cops are the main reason I went withe 35 on the front. It's a bit darker than I was expecting actually. Some areas in NJ they're REALLY strict about tint, so I'm a bit worried. I figure I can always try to see if the cop will let me rip it off and let me go.
