Tinted Windows On Taco, What % You Have?

[Dirtrider612]

I have 20% on all windows and 50% on the windshield. It’s pretty dark, but not as dark as it looks in pictures.

I would like to go darker then what came factory but I heard it’s more expensive if you have pre-existing tint, is this true?

There should not be any kind of extra charge for the pre-existing factory tint. The tint that comes from the factory is not a film that sits on top of the glass like what you will be getting installed; it is inside so they dont have to remove anything to install new tint. If that makes any sense.

At the time I still wasn’t sure what restrictions the installation had regarding tint since I drive on base every day. Decided to go with Lumar 35% on the front driver and passenger, kept the rear oem, and did a clear uv film on the windshield. Looking back at it now, I wanna go with 20% up front and 35% on the windshield like I did on the wife’s 4runner

So the tint place told me my back windows are actually not tinted but dyed to 26% so i was not sure what would look good on my truck, i just went all around 30% on all 4 windows and not my back glass because i am getting a shell soon. What are you guys running % on your tinted windows?

for me I just did the fronts to match the rear was cheaper that way and it came out awesome

I decided to do carbon 18% front windows & 5% rears. Loving it so far.

 

[El.Taco]

I went with WINCOS IR Film Tint, 15% front 20% back. May need some front Tint, maybe the clear IR tint.

I don’t really remember the % anymore, but...

Just had the front two windows tinted at 20% to match the factory rear. From the outside looking in you can't tell a difference in darkness. From the inside looking out the front two windows look darker than the rear two. I'll be going back to darken the rear (factory rear smoked glass is about ~26% VLT).

Current Tint:
- Front two windows @ 20%
- Rear windows @ factory
- Windshield @ factory
- Sunroof @ factory



New Tint:
- Front @ 20%
- Rear windows @ 35% over the factory tint
- Windshield @ 70%
- Sunroof @ 70% over factory tint

I have 15% on all windows and the shell is factory

 

[NLV Taco]

30% all around. Clear u/v blocker on the windshield

 

[Cornholio]

20 %

 

[Wellspring]

35% as per NC law on passenger, and driver's door windows w/UV block protection. Didn't have the rear window tinted, as I have a cap on the truck, and the rear window on the Leer cap is already tinted from the factory. Going to have the windshield clear UV blocked in Spring. I am going to leave the back doors (Double Cab) windows the way they are, as they are dark enough, already.

Looks good! I’m thinking of doing the same. Also, what’s your wheel/lift setup?

 

[Smitty]

Windshield is clear for now, 20% all around. Kinda wish I went for 15% or 10% but that's just me

 

[TCOTUE]

20% Front
43% Windshield
Nothing on rear windows

I have 5% all around and then 30% on the front windshield. It looks great but definitely a little hard to see at night haha.

Isn't the windshield usually a quick way to be pulled over? Or is it not a big deal in some states?

 

[Tyler]

I wish I could still remember the % I have so I can tell people when they ask, but I have no clue what this is anymore.

 

[Huck89]

You know I’ve heard that it is but I haven’t had any issues yet. I’ve lived in Colorado, Virginia, about about to move to Ohio, and I’ve traveled to Texas, Alabama, and Florida and haven’t been pulled over yet. Knock on wood though lol.
