I am wanting to get my 08 tahoe's windows tinted. I am pretty sure I want 20% over the factory and was wondering if anyone had any pics of tahoes with 20% tint over factory tint? (especially black tahoes)

i have a few pics im not sure if you mean 20% over the rear windows too but heres mine i have 30% over the stock tint in the rear which measures to like 17% my tint guy said so altogether its like 4-5% on the back already tinted windows and then 10% on my front driver and passenger sides.

heres the rear door glass you cant see in unless its really bright out or you are cupping your hands on the glass to look in.

I have what you're looking for. 20% on the fronts, 20% over the stock on the rear. I also have the 20% tint strip on the windshield...

Not sure if I have what you want, but at least it's on a black Tahoe...

No additional tint on the rears, and perfectly matching tint on the fronts:

Question...

I have 15% on the two front Windows. I'm getting the rear/back windows tinted next week. I can't decide if I should get 15% over the factory privacy glass. Or get 5% over the factory tint instead. Which would look better, next to the front? I want my kids to still see outside, but I want the level to look good with what's already done on the front.

Not the greatest picture but it should get the idea across:

That is 20% over the factory (ends up begin approx. 5%), 20% on the fronts and 20% across the top of the windshield.

I have tinting the back of my last 3 SUVs this way...the kids do not complain at all then about the sun. They can still see out just fine in the daytime, too. Just my $0.02, but I have been installing tint professionally for almost 7 years (own my own business) and I prefer the front doors to be slightly lighter than the rear windows. Gives it more of a graduated look going from the clear windshield, darker fronts, and even darker rear windows.

I would not go 5% over the factory...it won't look any different from the outside but will be much, much darker on the inside...too dark if you ask me. Also forget about seeing anything at night out the back.
