20% tint over factory tint, pics??

[ckylesworld]

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)

it will look like 5% tint..if u look at my sih my fronts are 5 and the rear is stock 20

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.

This is 5% on the fronts and 20% over the factory 20% on all the rear windows!

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:

Here is mine 20% front, 50% front windshield, 20% over factor rear.

These pics made up my mind. I am going with the 20% over the factory. Thanks for all the pics.

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.

I have 20% up front 5% on the rest no eyebrow or tint on the front windshield. I can see fine when I back up at night and I back up everywhere I park. I can also see fine out of my rear view mirror. But I went that dark so people cant see my subs and stuff in the back.

Thanks! I appreciate the info!

Thanks! I appreciate the info!

I have 35% film in the front (Came out to 26% on my state inspection, factory front is 70%) and 20% everywhere behind the front door (should be about 7% including the factory 35%). I'll take a picture in the sun later today.

 

[gingrly]

Thanks for the info! I appreciate it. The shop that I go to has 5,15, 35, etc. I hope if I put the 15 over the factory 20 (privacy glass), it is dark enough, but not too dark.

You'll be happy with the 15%. I tried 35% over the factory but it didn't really make that big of a difference. Unless you need total privacy...eg: hide a pricey sound system...I would go with the 15% rather than the 5%.

 

[ezdaar]

I just did, 15% over OEM on all, 17% on front doors and a 17% stripe across wind shield.

during day, forget about seeing i it from anything beyond 3 feet, at night. LOL you better have a bright flashlight to see in.

I am able to see out fairly well at night, but my backup cam is defiantly getting used ALOT more..

I Like it ALOT. Wouldnt change a thing.

I was wondering if u ever took that picture I just got a Tahoe and was thinking of doing the same.
