Re: Would a tinted rear window look out of place on my truck?
I'm kind of debating on this for my truck, I've just come across a smoked rear window. I think the lighter, smoked look would be best on yours.

Re: Would a tinted rear window look out of place on my truck?
Here are before and after pics of mine. I dont know what percentage mine is but I got the darkest available. Its not legal here and if it was I would never put the dark tint on my side windows, it seriously cuts down your visibility, especially at night.

Re: Would a tinted rear window look out of place on my truck?
The removal of the slider and the step bumper with the solid rear window and sport bumper made a night and day difference on this truck. I like it. I am not sold on the dark dark tint. I think paint color has a lot to do with it.

Re: Would a tinted rear window look out of place on my truck?
At this point, I think you are already there. I do think the lighter tint on all the windows will look OK although I am not a huge fan. Hopefully it will knock the inside temp down in the hot summer days.

Re: Would a tinted rear window look out of place on my truck?
Iam going to do 20% on the back and 35% on the sides on mine and a 20% brow. This keeps me legal on the side windows here in Kansas.

Re: Would a tinted rear window look out of place on my truck?
35% if I remember correct, 50% was too dark. Keeps my neck from getting sunburned, I'm already enough of a redneck.

Re: Would a tinted rear window look out of place on my truck?
35% is darker than 50%. The rating is based of light transmittancy through the film. For example, 50% tint lets 50% of the light though. 20% tint lets 20% of the light through and 5% would be the darkest only allowing 5% of the light to pass through it.

Re: Would a tinted rear window look out of place on my truck?
Square 78, thanks for setting me straight as I never understood the % thing, shows what I know. I did redo it a couple years ago because the first time I put tint on it was way too dark, couldn't see a damn thing at night.
