Why do you want the tint so dark? Aren't there tint laws in Cali? Seems like you are asking for a ticket to me...

When we put it back on, we didn't line it up just right, so it doesn't sit all the way down in the back...gotta get that fixed, haha
It's actually not as low as it is in the picture. I have my 2 250lb friends in it, making that front spring sag way down...haha, but it'll be this low in a month or so.

There are...but EVERYONE with a truck around here has DOUBLE 5% on the back window and 5% on the side windows! I only have single 2½% on the back, and I'm gonna have 20% on the sides...

5/7" will look much better!

I agree that 5% all around is the only way to go.

I love the way your truck sits. Got any more new side shots?

I have double 5% on the sides and rear of my '94 and 20% all the way down the windshield. Illegal, yes, but looks killer. Still not the darkest I have had--I had an '89 S-10 with two layers of 5% over one layer of 20% on the sides and rear and the windshield was 20%all the way--that thing was too dark--even for me.

why would you tint the windshield? Maybe I am getting old, but that sounds like trouble. God help me, I am starting to sound like my Dad......

Could have saved time and money with a can of black spray paint. Would have given the same results...
