99 Silver Tinted California pics?

Hey guys, I was hoping to have my 4runners windows tinted but was hoping to see other's rides to get an idea of what mine would look like. If you happen to have a Silver 4runner in Cali with tinted windows, can you post pics of it for me? Preferable if have limo or tint right before limo, forget the % as I've never tinted a car before.

Also, any disadvantages to tinting?

Only issue with tint is it's harder to see out at night, especially backing up.
Makes a big difference in the hot summer sun.
Advantages far out way any disadvantages imo.

Mine are dark, not full on limo tint but dark. My pickup didn't have any tint so this was an adjustment. Now I don't notice.

Thanks for the pic, I am look for something a bit darker as I'd prefer people not be able to see inside my car if possible.

This is what I was wondering about, I'm wondering if this will pose a problem if I go with the tint right before limo. I don't believe you can see in or out using limo, correct?

You can barely see in and mine is 20%. Visibility is only diminished at first put you adjust and get used to it.

I still toggle up my rear view at night when people are behind me.

If you put dark tint on your front doors, be prepared to get pulled over for it. Its not legal here in CA and a lot of cops use it for a reason to pull you over. A lot of people still do it (me included) but just be aware that the possibility of a ticket is there.

You can see out no problem, with limo, at night is when it will be an adjustment for you.
I like the privacy and security with black limo tint.

I'm running limo on the back three windows of my 4door Tacoma and it's awesome. Lots of privacy and backing up isn't a major issue if you can use your mirrors. If I could do it all over again I would Limo the fronts too. I suggest limo and hardly legal for the front windows . It's worth it.

Thanks, I was thinking of just doing limo for all back and 15% for everything else. Anyone else happen to have this setup?
