Every time I get pulled over it seems the police say something about my window tint, but they never write me a ticket for it?? lol

 

kinda stupid if you ask me, but to each their own I guess

 

oooh, I love my tint.

Entire front windshield tinted 35%. Front driver & passenger glass tinted to 35% too. All remaining glass has been tinted 20% over factory:

 

I like mine too.

 

your front windshield makes them front two windows look so much darker rock. to bad all the good tint has to be illegal

 

I like em alright, they aren't the brightest lights out there, but i like em good enough. And they are the cheapest bulb i found, $38 shipped i think. Ask Brian about em and where he got them and such. Plus there is a 30 day money-back guarantee on em if you don't like em.

 

Does anyone know what % the factory tint is?

 

rockslide, how do you drive at night? A good pair of glasses?

 

i think factory is 20% but don't quote me. to get a good answer, i would find a cop and ask if he could scan your windows to get an accurate result

 

That's what I like about it. Having the entire windshield tinted does make the front 2 windows look much darker than they really are.



, I'm use to the tint. You'd be surprised...from the outside it looks dark, but from inside, it's hardly noticeable. In fact, most people that ride in my 4Runner don't even know it's tinted until I tell them.

 

Just remember, the factory tint is just tinted glass. Tinted glass is just for looks...it does not actually block uv rays. However, aftermarket tint does help block against uv rays...which is always a bonus.

 

and i guess this is why they can put tint over the facotory glass, since there isnt really tint on there, just darker glass right?

 

yeah. but uv rays aren't my biggest worry when i'm driving. i haven't retinted my rears because i think the tint job from the factory is top quality, i love when people roll down my window and try to find the tint line, then their smile doubles when they find out it rolls down all the way haha

 

correct, from the factory, cars comes w/ tinted glass...not actual tint like you're getting. However, you can tint over aftermarket tint. I've seen this done quite often in fact. People decide that want darker tint and just tint over the aftermarket tint they already have.


well yeah, uvs are not a big concern for most, but it's just a side plus

 

if you have leather seats during the summer time then, UVs become a little problem lol

 

Thats what i did, i did 5% over the factory tinted windows

 

That's what you did - 5% over the oem tinted windows? I think you missed what I was describing, or else I'm misunderstanding you.

Now did you already have aftermarket film tint installed over your factory glass and then tint over that? Or did you just install aftermarket film tint over your oem tinted glass? Again, from the factory, you just have tinted glass...not film tint.

What I was describing was installing aftermarket film tint on top of previously installed aftermarket film tint. Anotherwords, 2 layers of film tint on top of tinted glass.

 

getting 32 percent (darkest legal) on my driver and passenger windows and a 20 percent tint bar across the top windshield on wednesday. i'm hoping this little bit of tint will help out and making my front match the already darkness of the back windows

 

I believe it's 35%

 

What happened Sloan, I thought you were going to black that 4Runner out!
