Smile Window tint

Had my front windows tinted today - "Midnight Express". Max legal here is 35%

I'm just not to open them for 48 hours

Does not make a huge difference but I'm happy Just need to take a picture in the same location & light to get a better representation of the difference.

AFTER

Looks nice, I had 20% on my front windows for a while(back windows were factory tinted) but was still to light for me. So now I have 5%.

God, you couldn't see inside the passenger side windows of my Blazer... The PO got the fronts tinted... they're darker than yours Ken. I've got the same thing with my Sierra now... still darker than 35%...

Turns out to be slightly lighter than the rears. I wanted it to match the rear but the tinting guys were not prepared to do a darker tint.

Looks awesome Ken, should of told the guy if he wasn't prepared to go darker just to do 2 layers of the 35% on each side.

I'm going to go ahead and tint my fronts as well. Any idea what the actual percent is stock so that i could match it closely?

It should say somewhere on the window. I think its around 20%.
