for those of you who have a 5% strip to the arrows on the windshield, can you still see traffic lights thru it? i dont wanna have to duck down if i pull up to a light. In the day or night? been wanting to do mine but cant decide how low to go. on my 07 there is a darkened area around the rear view mirror that looks to be a bit higher than the arrows on the side, thinking about going low enough to cover that area around the mirror.

my 04 tahoe has 25% drop about 2" below the mark in the top for the "legal" tint

its perfect- can just see the traffic lights, i never have to pull down the visors, and its not so noticiable that i havent been pulled over with it yet

I have a 14" strip and can see the lights just fine.


Im about to just do my whole front windshield in either 50% or 70% and put the 14" strip back on too. I usually have the front winshield tinted all the way. -- Ill take pics tomorrow if I remember LOL.

It doesn't look bad but looks kind of ricy on your truck since your truck has a nice classy look to it.

Man that truck is beautiful! I love that color. The wheels, tires, stance, they're all excellent. I think the tint looks good too. Actually have me some ideas.
