You do realize that the stock rear tint is 18% right? 50% is nothing. Maybe you meant 5% lol.

I have 5% and it's not bad at all. In fact I wish it was darker.

Heres my truck with 50%. Interior color has a lot to do with it. I also have a 15% brow over that. From me to have the rear window tinted again, windshield and brow cost me $120, well worth the money.

not on states that dont even have a inspection..

and you guys with tinted windshields must have perfect eyes, or your crazy..
ive got 5% on the sides with a brow, think 20% on the back and cant really see **** at niteime out the sides or back, and its pretty dark in the daytime, cant even imagine 40% or darker on the whole front driving at night with it raining.. with my smaller mirrors and tint ive got to roll the winders down to back up at nite to even see for the most part.. and with it so cold out lately my windows are usually frozen shut, so that= me having to open up the door...
Def learned my lesson and finally went to dark this time..

Its really not that bad. Here is a pic of looking out the windshield and 5% on the sides. The brow again is 15% over 50%.





I've had a number of people ride with me and say, I thought you had your windshield tinted?
