Window Tint Pictures/Questions
- Thread starter FLARam
- Start date
Factory is 70% on front side windows and 26.5 on rear side windows and back window . I ended up doing 15% on the front two side windows because the front winshield lets so much light in and they don't look dark enough if you don't.
So if I want to match back and front windows, I need to ask for 26.5? I want everything to match
no one makes 26.5 that is a factory tint laminated in the glass you would have to ask for 25% and you probably would not be able to tell the difference. Most good tint shops have a tint shade tester that's how they told me what mine was.
But just a heads up it won't look as dark on the front two even if you have it exactly match because all the light that comes into the front windshield makes them look lighter . A good tint shop won't have a hard time making you happy . I would consider 20% though or you will think they are lighter for sure .

Here are some pictures to help you decide since nobody has posted any useful pics in this thread.
The factory rear windows on my truck are marked 70% VLT which I assume stands for visible light transmission which means they’re roughly 30% but I think they’re actually darker.
I tinted my front sides with 25% Llumar ceramic film and the windshield is Llumar air 80% ceramic
The fronts are a pretty close match to the rears but not perfect.
Here are some side shots. Depending on how much light is coming through the windshield at the time depends on how close the fronts match the rears.
Good luck with your decision

That is VERY helpful. Thanks for sending.
I think the 25% looks like a good match.

With the ceramic, yes
Your car will still be hot after sitting in the sun all day but you can feel less heat coming through the window. You can check out videos where people use btu meters to show ceramic tint effectiveness

Absolutely. I live in the desert and need as much help as I can get too cool down the truck in the summer.
What % tint on Front/Back @Firebird ?
