What do you have? I have 35% on the front 2 windows, and factory on the rest. I'm thinking about going 20% up front and making the rear side windows darker. I don't want to make the rear window any darker, because I want to be able to see at night. Any suggestions?

Limo all the way around expect my driver and passenger windows. I love having blacked out windows. :)

I put a layer of 5% on the two fronts doors and doubled up the 5% around the rest of the truck over the factory tint. I don't like people looking into my truck and seeing what I have. I have a b/u camera that i use for reversing at night.
What you have in mind would look good; 20% down the sides front to rear. You can slap a layer of 35% over the rear window to match the rest a little better and still keep it light enough to see through at night.

Here's what the double 5% looks like on my truck:

I just wasn't sure what to use over the factory tint. I was thinking 20% just didn't know how dark it would be over top the factory stuff.

I think I'm going to tint match the front windows with the privacy glass, and eventually I'll go over all of the privacy glass to make it darker. I don't need it super duper dark, but a little privacy and added security would be awfully nice...not to mention the heat reduction benefits in the summer.

from the outside, it's gonna match from 10 ft away or so. it's around 18% on the factory glass, but it is made in the window, so it will not match.

I've seen some that look pretty damn close over on TF, so we will see. Doesn't need to be spot-on, but close and I'll be happy.
