Cool Window tint pics.....Getting window tint put on my truck

I am going saturday to get window tint put on my truck. It's a 1970 C10. I was thinking about doing 20 on the sides and maybe darker on the back glass. Was wondering if you guys had some pics or opinions for me?!?!? Here is a couple pics of it

I tinted my side and back glass and would never go back. Absolutely love it and it really does help keep the heat out. All the details are here

Don't have the windows on my 72 done but my DD regular cab silverado has 20 on the sides and 5 on the rear and it's perfect. Can still see at night, keeps it cool in the sun, and looks WAY better than it did.

Re: Window tint pics.....Getting window tint put on my truck

A couple of years ago I removed my rear slider and put in a rear flat glass and hd it tinted as dark as possible. I do realize you folks in the Southern USA deal with tremendous heat at times. Its against the law here to have the side windows tinted and even if it wasn't I wouldn't do it anyway as it is dangerous.

The first reason it is dangerous is because you can't make eye contact with another driver through the dark glass. if you are going straight and someone wants to turn off a side street in front of you, how do you know if they have seen you if you cant see them in the vehicle.

The other reason is more rare but it only needs to happen once. Side windows are designed to shatter on impact when hit. Now when you tint the side windows with sticky film it hold the glass together when you try to break it so if you were ever involved in an accident and rescue personell needed to break a side window to get you out of the vehicle the sticky tint would hold the window together even after it was smashed.

I am not preaching here just stating facts.....
