Yes, usually do my front windows 4% and the entire front windsheild anywhere from 35% to 25%

I want to do like 35% for the windshield and like 25% on the drivers/passangers windows. The only thing I'm really worried about is getting a ticket lol how lucky have you been with the 27% on the windshield and 5% on the doors? Also my tahoe is white so it stands out more

I didn't want to post up all my old vehicles, but I did 5% on the sides and 30% on the front windshield on my 01 Tahoe as well.

I think you'd be fine with 35%/25% like you want. I don't get messed with too much. maybe once a year or so...

Thanks for the pics I like the look the tint gives the tahoe. I'm glad to know there's people out there that have done stuff like this. Thanks again

I'd love to tint the front but I'm scared I'll spend a lot of time on the side of the road like when I had this...

20% tint on this. Bad luck with the Tint Police in Maryland.

If you tint your windshield, I'd say.. better be ready to start getting pulled over by the police... I had my windshield tinted, and got approached by cops with guns drawn cause they said they couldn't see inside at all so they had to take "precautionary measures" lol over speeding... CHP's out here in Cali. are F'n B****s

My old truck had 5% on the back five windows and 30% on the windshield I owned that truck for around 5yrs. Had them tinted like that the whole time and got pulled over a few times and nothing was ever said about my windows and that was in 2 different states. I will say every time I was pulled over I rolled down all the windows to make it seems lighter in the truck

That's a good idea about rolling down the windows but what if you got pulled over at night lol

If it's your first time tinting your windshield go 50 percent. And 25 or 35 in the front. If you go 25 with the 50 people won't be able to see inside.

That's 50% on the windshield and 25% on the front two? That looks good

It was very limited.

Having that much tint? yes.
5% on every window makes the cabin pretty dark, obviously worse at night, but atleast I have a clear windshield.
When I added the 35% sheet to the entire windshield on the old car, it was nice and cozy during the day, but at night it was too much.

to answer your question having 5% all the way around makes it hard enough to see out the sides at night, but combined with the 35% tinting to the whole windshield? yeah it sucked. Looked cool, but wasnt worth the decreased visibility, nor the unwanted attention from the city police.

Its all about location for getting pulled over. I had an impala for about 8 years with platinum plus and a layer of limo behind that (like sitting in a cave)...lived in Tx,La,Ms, and Fl never got pulled once. When I moved to SoCal I got pulled Soooo much I ended up ripping it all off:(

Now that I'm back down south I'll step my game up again :)
