Window Tint...

[Regency]

This is how mine looks in the daytime with 25 on back and 35 on front....it's just too light for me. I found a guys who can go over my current tint without removing anything that will give me the look that I want....I'm gonna go with 5% on the back and 20% on the front.


Oh and I just put the 24s on there today....has a little rub when I turn but it's not bad at all.

You end up going with my tire size? looks great from what I can see.

Going over a layer of aftermarket tint could lead to a lot of bubbles. Just rip off the old tint and go 5% in the front.

I'm going take out the old and go with 20% on the front and just double up the back with 5%. Today I saw one job that he did by going over the factory tint in the back and it looks perfect, no bubbles at all. I should have took a pic of it today.

I went over the factory tint in the rear too but I was referring to the two front windows. They could have issues if it already has a previous layer of tint on it.

Before you shell out the $ for all windows to be done, if you have the time, just get the 2 fronts done see how you like it then if you dont get the rest done?

Yes I did about a month ago and got 35% on the front which is what I don't like right now and why I want to change. I'm definitely getting 20% on the front now but I wasn't sure if I wanted to redo the back as well or just leave it at 25%.

If it is a well known tint shop then just ask them to match the rear factory and they should know which tint percentage to use.

305/35/24, And I would just take the stock tint off and do all the windows 20% only if you wanna match if not then just throw 20% on the Front since it's already lighter than the back since 5% is out of the question even though it would look amazing.

The "stock" tint is the actual glass there is no film on there like a tint shop uses, so u cant remove, but you can tint over it for a darker look.

You're right...it is on the glass so it's not actual tint. In that case I'm getting 5% on the back so it'll be as dark as possible. Thanks for pointing that out.

It's tinted glass. I believe its 35% so if you go with 5%, it'll be equal to 2%.

keep in mind that when adding 5% to your rear windows it will be more like 3-4% but again I would just talk to the tint shop.

2-4% would work for me. I want the rear as dark as possible. I might just leave my front at 35% after doing that because I'm sure it'll make my front look darker as well.

Look at my truck. That's 35% on the front and 15% over stock tint in the rear. I have no windshield strip. That'll give you an idea of what it'll look like. I'm going to lower my front to 15% though. It's not legal here but the 35% is too light imo. But it is noticeable darker in the cabin and harder to see at night.

i put 20% on the factory tint and 5% on the front two windows...matches perfect. I didn't get my back gate glass tinted all cause I still wanted to be able to see behind me at night. It worked out perfect cause the rest of the truck is so dark that you definitely don't need the back glass to not be tinted so that you can still see when backing up and what not.

20% is legal for MS on the front windows but the PO PO!!!

I don't think so. You'll still have a ton of light coming through the windshield, and that will lighten up the front more than the rear. That, and having the rear a lot darker than the fronts will make the fronts look lighter by contrast.

I didn't do anything to the factory-tinted rear windows, and I think I have 20% on the front (it could be 35% -- I really don't remember). Whatever it is, it's a perfect match, which is what I was after.

The factory tint is 20% IIRC, if you want it to match then put 20% on the front windows and wont tell the slight difference.
