If the legal limit in your state is 35%, then I would tint the entire rig 35% .. Because in the end, the rear will always look darker due to the factory tint being darker back there anyway. Just my 2 cents.
in any vehicle regardless if it came with factory tint or not, the rear will always look darker than the front. Why? the light comes thru the windshield and lights up the inside.
Correct, the way i figure it. You going to get a ticket regardless. get the most privacy.
I only did the front with 3M 20%. Matches the stock rears pretty well.
Correct, 3m/LLUmar/Johnson films make a 20% charcoal that matches well. There are many brands out there that make a 20% that does not match well.
By my est. math, 35% over the factory (~28%) would put you at ~10%.
you cant guestimate on tint. 35% over the FACTORY 20%, gets you down to the 15% area. No way as dark as a real 10% film. in all my years, i have not tested it but from the look of the eyes. 35 over factory 20 is about a 15-18. not much
I know vehicles differ but this is my wife's MK3 Focus with 20% all around and even then your fronts will appear lighter due to the light coming through your windshield. I had the sunroof and the back window tinted at 15% and with with that tint laid over the factory tint on the sunroof it is really dark but really cuts down on the heat coming through so if you have a sunroof I recommend looking into it.
did this vehicle come with factory rear tint so it would be a good comparison?
tinting the sunroof also is prone to peeling since its in direct sunlight.
I personally have 5% on fronts and 5% over factory rears and a 5% front tint strip band across the windshield. I also have a dark grey interior. dont know if all runners came in grey or were there variations. tan will make it lighter looking also.
see my fronts? you can still see thru them with 5%
cops dont bother suv owners much about tint, in my area
