anyone got pictures of 50% on any windows???

TIMSPEED · 08-15-2004, 07:58 PM

50% is barely noticeable. The HIGHEST I ever go is 35%...THAT is the limit of noticeability.

ocbaud · 08-15-2004, 08:03 PM

have you seen any pictures of 50% tint?

*1972C10* · 08-15-2004, 09:22 PM

35% sucks ALot of people do 35 on the sides and 5 on the back to make it look darker I did mine 25% all the way around 25 or 20 It looked good and never got pulled over I think you can get away with more tint on these trucks due to the huge front window letting in large amounts of light.

If I remeber correctly, mine are 50% with 5% on the back. 50% is state law here and it passed inspection, even though the old guy didn't even roll the windows up.

well, this would be for my windshield, so it cant be to dark.

Eric you tool....that is illegal as hell. OHP would have a field day with you.

Besides that they make special "invisibile" tint for front windshields!! lol

You likely won't have any problem in the OK Metro areas but (TRUST ME) meet an OHP officer or small town officer on a two lane road and you will get stopped. Over the years I have had 50%, 35% and a couple with 20% on the front--looks great but, living in a smaller town, the hassle just wasn't worth it. I get no hassle having double limo on the rear and sides with a strip on the front.

C&C Chevy · 08-17-2004, 05:22 PM

Just do 5% on the windshield and cut out a little strip across the middle. Cool beans!

86 Red_Bowtie · 08-17-2004, 10:34 PM

I would just put a 5% tint accross the top of the front window and that should do you fine. Because if not your going to find a cop that hasn't had his coffee for the day and he is going to have a hay do with you. Not only will he right you a ticket for the front window he'll get you for the rest og them if there not legal and possibley make you strip the tint of the truck right there on the road and believe me that sucks.

I helped my friend put some 5% on his side windows a couple of Sundays ago and the Wednesday after we did it he pulled into the store and there were 2 state troopers there. Guess what? Bam a ticket for illegal window tint and get this.....$182.00.
