Default window tint

i was just playing with the idea of getting some tint for the two front windows to match the other back windows and just wondering if 35% is to dark?

Probably a little too much...the windows already have a 10% tint, youcan't exceed35% in NC. Here are the NC tint laws. I would go25-30%.

In new york state the limit is 35% but to me that isnot dark enough.but I usually go a strip of 35% across the top of the front window and on the side I usually go with 25% And the back window 25% as well. that is what I'm goingto beputting on my blazer in the winter time. its the best time to get Ur windows tintedup here becauseit cold out and don't openUr windows as much.

I believe the factory privacy glass is 17% tint. It is illegal in most states, butto me,it's a chance worth taking. Mine actually has 5% on the front doors and the windshield...which is really dark, I do kinda wish I had matched it to the privacy glass on the rest of the truck.

You have 5% on your windshield? Did you just do that, according to you pics in your gallery it doesnt look 5%.

I have 20% on my front windows, I wish I would have went a little darker to match. But I dont even know if they make a 17% film. 35% is the limit on the front windows here all others are 25%(except windshield). I would like to get some tint on the windshield but I dont want to attract even more cops.

Yes, I have a 10" strip of 5% tint on my winshield...I had it done the same time I had the rest of the truck done over a year ago. At least one company makesa 17% tint, the shop who does all of my vehicles has it in stock.

10% would look good, but 15 or 17% would match it to the other windows. I spent a total of $70 (30 for each door and 10 for the windshield strip) to get mine done, and to remove this glass you have to remove the window regulators which requires drilling out 5 rivets each, and it's not a job for a novice. I'd just have it done by a pro for no more than it costs.
