As an uber driver in ny. 5% ceramic is great however if you get caught up in an area with no outside light you won't be able to see outside also pedestrians automatically think their invincible and just cross the street. Sometimes you might not see one when you're turning with 5% at night
i have had 5% with a 35% windshield on my old truck and i will say it was fairly easy to see out of at night, i never had any issues and got used to it. But unfortunately I got pulled over for my windshield being too dark. So on my new truck I went darker on the side windows with 5% over 20% and a 50% windshield. I love it
I have 5 % tints on my car and it's impossible to see car at night driving with no headlights. Also backing into a driveway with no streetlights is a accident waiting to happen unless you roll down your window I have good vision but 5% tints at night is a hassle. During the day however I love them
Now this is exactly what folk like me want when making the decision between tint shades. Thank you, bro! Well done. That whip is dope too! I appreciate you.
Did you end up keeping it the way it is, bro? I ended up doing 12% all around instead of the 5%! Looks sick. I just felt 5% was too dark to see at night, especially since I don’t have backup cameras in my car. It’s actually better off, I think-so don’t second-guess yourself. That look is dope and honestly-while 5% looks good, the car looks more elegant and sleek the way yours does. You can always redo it when the time comes. God bless.

First of all great video sir. I have had 5% on my Grand Marquis, my Jetta for over 2 decades. As long as you are driving with sense and if you get pulled over let your windows down. Very rarely will you get ticketed. It does depend on your location, the officer, and luck of the draw but after 20 yrs I never got a ticket or asked to take off my tint. I lived in Charleston SC and currently Atlanta GA. Last I am 50 yrs old and if you are familiar with your truck then you will quickly become comfortable with the 5% in a matter of a couple days especially if you already had tint for some time.

If you want dark with privacy and still being able to see at night. I always do 45% windshield and 25% all around or 35% all around with 45% windshield. 45% windshield is the sweet spot for me. Cant see me clearly but its not so dark that you get cop attention. Never been pulled over that way.

I have 5% on my rear and I'm glad its only on my rear - you are really limited on what you can see at night. If someone is driving with no headlights on forget it, you aint seeing em. 15% I think is the happy balance, its dark enough where yeah sure you can see in the vehicle but in most cases you are going to a good amount of privacy well driving at night. I have 20% in my fronts and its too light - I hate it. So I now have a vehicle that is too light in the front (20%) and my rear window is 20% + existing 35% making extremely dark to see out of.
Upgrade to 35 on the windshield. I had 35 on the windshield and 15 all around on a Scion tC and you couldn't see anything but basic shapes at the most unless the sunroof was uncovered or the windshield was facing towards the sun/bright part of a cloudy sky. Before you say "That's still not enough," just remember that your truck has the extra advantage of being tall and therefore harder to look into, anyway. Also, most trucks come with bare glass on the rear and rear sides that's already 20-25%, so when you add 15 to it, it becomes 15% OF 20-25%, which is 3-4%. If you wanted the rears to match the 15% front perfectly, you'd have to put 70% on them, or you could've put 50% on the rears to get them a bit darker without being the ridiculous 3-4%. *EDIT:* Seems you already knew about the privacy glass, nice. I still recommend 35/15, and if you want to, consider darkening the sunroof with ceramic, as well. I stupidly put 15% on my tC's sunroof and couldn't see shit out of it at night(I still wanted to see the night sky/stars), so watch out for that. I'd probably do the sunroof either 35, 50, or even 70 nowadays. A hidden benefit is that the lighter you do the sunroof, the more you can fool the cops if you leave the shade open while riding down the road during the day.
Good tip on the sunroof cause I’m actually considering tinting my sunroof and was going to do 20%. But I think I may do 35% or 50 maybe. Probably 35. But I’m still more than likely going to do 5% all around and maybe 35 on the shield.
@@TFBJFord If you're going that dark, then I definitely recommend the 50 on the sunroof. At least the front section, and you can do the back at 35 to keep the theme of "back row is darker" since there you'll still have 15 on 20/25 (effectively) and it's like 4% total.
Great video! i had 15% on my front windows then switched to 5% had it for about 10 months i loved the 5% during the day but at night it was hard to see you could still see a bit but it was sketchy so i had to keep rolling down the windows at round about and corners. Also want to mention that the 5% i had wasn't ceramic so it was harder to see out and the tint was dyed Charcoal. Eventually got over rolling down the windows and went back to 15% today this time ceramic.
@@llmcmuffll8254 yes 15% is good at night in my opinion i just went back to 15 ceramic from 5%. 5% is where the privacy is at 15% you can still sort of see inside during the day but at night you can't see much inside and can still see fine looking out.
Man, back in the day I did 5% on the front door windows and doubled in on all the windows.. WUT THE FUK WAS I THINKING!! I just turned 52 last week and think back on chit I did in my hay maker days..😳🤣👊🏻
15% or 20% is perfect for me. I rock 15% on my front windows of my Ram 1500. But this is Florida we're talking about. My old ram 1500 had 5% and I couldn't see crap backing up at night. Had to roll the windows down sometimes just to see.
5% and 15% are damn near the same both of those aren’t enough for me tho especially on a sunny day you can definitely still see through 5% i started going with a 5 percent OVER 15 percent for that completely blacked out look it’s def my go to now 🙌🏽
I always 5% all around. I’m probably just use to seeing out the tints by now. I’m considering tinting my windshield on my next car just not sure what percent on it cops so iffy here
Go 50% I did 5% all around and 35 on my windshield and it’s just a tad too hard to see out of at night. During the day it’s perfect tho. I loveeee dark tint but if you do a lot of night driving definitely reccomend getting 50% windshield maybe throw a 5% brow at the top to block the sun.
You gotta find the safe and aesthetic medium. IMO anything lower than 20% especially with a dark interior and no pano roof is too dark. Then add bad weather and night time driving. That damn tint becomes a safety issue.
5% all around is the ONLY WAY down here in FL 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💨💨💨💨… u can see thru it now and it’s not even sunny .. I could only imagine when it’s sunny 😂😂 like riding in a fish bowl 😂🤦🏽♂️
I would do 5 and then 20 on the windshield. you'll get that mean murdered out look. 35 will still be a bit see through in direct sunlight, speaking from experience.
I like 15/10% when i put 5 on my rear windshield i think the rearview mirror was dim cuz the only thing i could see was headlights of cars. Also put 5 on the front doors and at night was tough to see road lines/curbs
I have 20 on top of the 20 factory on the back windows so like 5%. 15 on the front. I actually started with 15 on the front, went to 5, and back to 15 lol. I couldn’t see anything at night even with street lights. IMO, I’d stick with 15 on the front and get 35 on the windshield to darken it more.
You still like this set up? I’ve got ceramic 20 on the back doors and 40 on the windshield. I’m either getting 5 or 15 on the front doors next week. I’m leaning towards 15 because I remember having 5 before and it was definitely hard to see out of but it wasn’t ceramic. The 25 ceramic I have right now does not impair my vision even at night backing a trailer but it’s not enough privacy.
5s and 35 shield a slightly see through during day but doable at night very rainy nights and backroads give you some trouble. I think driver experience and how well you know your car are big factors however to darker tints n less light.
I agree. I feel like even rainy nights and backroads will give you trouble no matter the tint. Idk what’s on my other car but it’s very light All around and no tint on windshield and I have trouble seeing out of that at night. But I agree with you driver experience and how well you know your car helps!
I like 35% tint. That smoked look. Just enough privacy to keep people guessing. Sometimes depending on the vehicle color 5% can take away from the look of the car.
35 is good for driver and passenger and doesn't attract cops while doing a fair bit of sun protection. I think it's pretty bright not smoky unless it's afternoon. I'd go 5% on the rear ones tho😇 love the contrast
You have to do the windshield some kind of tint to enjoy your side tints. I just did 15 percent and its fine, but the WS has nothing. I may do 60 percent WS
@@TFBJFord I have 35% all around in another car and compared to my 15% it was a big waste of money cause it barely helps. These kinds of video straight up telling people to not waste money on light tints is what is up.
I’ve got the same setup with 15% on the front sides and 50% on the windshield and a 5 percent brow 2 inches below the as1 line. May go 5% on the front sides next time, for now it’s good enough.
I'm in the same boat as you. I bought my first truck in October and did 15 the same exact tint setup as you did on yours and I hate it. I'm definitely going to peel it off and do 5% after the holidays. I'm in South Florida and even in December it's in the 80s and the sun is properly bright out here.
@@vaughnsantiago1 Trust me I know the heat is no joke down here. I usually use Llumar or 3m Ceramic on my vehicles. especially on the front windshield.
So with that set up its nice.. ive seen my unkle rock 5 over somthing not sure. But doesnt seem darl. But at night it does look petty dark.. i think ill go 35 over my 20%. Front. The rest is 5% back and rear . And 50% ceramic upfront... If you want that fark look then go for 35% windshield up front. 35% rear and back. And not mess with your front windows. It well look darker by noon. Becuase visibility womt be that well if you add 5% on top of your 15%.. i had 20% Windshield but with no lights anywhere it was so hard to see even with led lights. And glasses on.
I got 5% all around and 30% on my front windshield. Not going to lie the only thing I hate when it rains I can’t see crap! So I had to buy them legal morimoto amber lights as fog lights to be able to see lol
If you want your 15%/20% (they're pretty much the same) to appear darker, you should go 35% windshield and make the interior black, you won't be able to see in unless there's direct light coming from the windshield
Can’t decide ! my boy just got 50 on the windshield which in the day looks completely visible so i’m gonna get 35 for sure. But he also got 20% on front and i want mine to be darker. I’m getting ceramics so im not to bothered but i just don’t know if i should get 15 or 5. I also feel like it’d be the same likely hood of getting pulled over for 5 as it would for 15. i just don’t know and my appointment is thursday 😂.
You will get use to 15. If you want it to Look blacked out during the day I’d go 5. Because 15 in the front is pretty visible and can see right through it when you walk up on it. But From distance and cloudy/rainy days It looks dark though. If I was to do it all over I would go 5 and 35 or leave 15 percent and 20 percent on the windshield
i have 5 on top of tint so it reads as 1 on a reader and thats all around and 45 on the windshield all ceramic too and at night windows have to go down bc its hard to see out
I have same body truck, platinum. I got 5% all around and 35 shield. I thought it was took light for some reason, was thinking maybe it was the brand tint they used but it reads 5 on meter. I went get another layer of 5 and it was like spray painting my windows black. I peeled one layer off and I’m back to just 5, I never realized how perfect 5 is though. Guess my eyes used to it. I’ve had 5 on all my trucks
Damn I can’t imagine another layer of. 5% 🤣 yeah im definitely going back to get 5%. I’m thinking about leaving my back side windows as they are tbough since it’s practically at about 5% with the factory privacy glass. Still not all the way sure though
I got 5% in my mustang I bought and lemme tell you unless your opening the windows to see out your mirrors your screwed, highway driving yes your also screwed
5% on the pano? I was thinking of tinting my pano either 20 or 35. I don’t want it too dark but nice enough to still look up and see clearly out of it.
I’ve had 14.5% ceramic on all my windows for 2.5 years, if it’s good quality tint there’s literally a negligible difference in visibility on the inside
5% tenant windows, 20% tenant windows 35% tinted windows. There are a lot of choices but you gotta be careful if you get something dark on your car watch those back roads totally pitch black you have a lot of blind spots.
Bro i got 20s in new york and i have been pulled over numerous times in the past week i got them done. I know cops are profiling my car its a type s tlx
Let’s play a quiz, here is the 1 Million Dolar question: In how many states is 5% tint allowed on the front driver and passenger side window? a) In all states b) in 5 states c) in it
15% is what ima get cant see in your truck unless youre really looking, most people arent doing that. Lowest id ever go is 10 but maybe just the side back windows
Could just tint the windshield darker and see from there, I had 35% on my car because cops love pulling people over for tint and when it was nice outside and I had to drive in my town I put my sunroof down and let all the light in and my car didn’t even look tinted lol. Less light inside the vehicle the darker the tint appears. Might be screwing yourself getting a darker windshield plus darker tint.
50% tinted windows. I see a lot of people getting made cars to me 5% that super dark bro they get the windshield tinted pitch black I can’t see you looking right or looking live Blindspot’s be careful out there.
yeah I wouldnt dare do 5% windshield but people do it! Which is crazy! 5% is good until night time, but I sometimes have trouble with 15% at night on super dark roads. Just with 15% you can literally see inside the truck during the day and I don't really like that.
@@TFBJFord. I agree with 15% tenant windows, 20% anything lower than metal is too dark. Some people tint their windshield. I don’t agree with that you gotta worry about the cops 👮♀️ I know what you saying, bro I was watching your video.
@@HEADBANGRR I wouldn’t do that. You can ask the tint dealer to do 10% if they have it or find some one that does. Some offer 10% some don’t. But if you do 10 might as well go 5 tbh. That’s just me. I’m planning to go 5% soon though for sure.
@@TFBJFord yeah I just asked somebody who does this for a living. They told me that 20% * 2 would give me a 5%. Which doesn't make sense to me. So I'll probably just go with a 5% to make things easier. Thanks for your help
15% looks great on the 2 front windows and like you said it gives you better night visibility. I know what you mean about the privacy tho. If only we could get the same visibility at night with the 5% tints 🫤, but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. That 5% visibility at night is awful and can be quite dangerous in areas with no street lights. It’s a pain in the 👀 to see out. I went with 15% on my 2023 Nissan Pathfinder on all the side windows, but I went with 5% on the back windshield. I luv it during the day, but at night I can’t see shit out that back window. Thank God for backup cameras. 😂
@@TFBJFord 35% on the windshield is cool 😎. Would've done it on mine, but I'm in NYC. NYPD is annoying with these tint laws. Some of these cops get excited when they see dark tints on front windows. Especially front windshields!! Smh 😒 So I did the 5% 🌞 Strip instead. I went just a lil bit lower than the legal limit, but not too low, so let's see how that goes 😆.
Honestly depends on the color of your interior. But either way they would have to walk up to your car to see inside. If you have dark interior it can be hard with no lights or anything around. But with light around you can see inside
@@TFBJFord No, it’s not hard at all to use, brother. And, you’d be amazed at how many cool things you can add to your truck with Forscan, like actual temperature numbers over the engine and transmission gauges. Plus, you can add Lincoln style folding mirrors and so much more. Once you get the hang of it, it’s really easy and adds a lot of extra features to your truck.

Also, most trucks come with bare glass on the rear and rear sides that's already 20-25%, so when you add 15 to it, it becomes 15% OF 20-25%, which is 3-4%. If you wanted the rears to match the 15% front perfectly, you'd have to put 70% on them, or you could've put 50% on the rears to get them a bit darker without being the ridiculous 3-4%.
*EDIT:* Seems you already knew about the privacy glass, nice. I still recommend 35/15, and if you want to, consider darkening the sunroof with ceramic, as well. I stupidly put 15% on my tC's sunroof and couldn't see shit out of it at night(I still wanted to see the night sky/stars), so watch out for that. I'd probably do the sunroof either 35, 50, or even 70 nowadays. A hidden benefit is that the lighter you do the sunroof, the more you can fool the cops if you leave the shade open while riding down the road during the day.
Good tip on the sunroof cause I’m actually considering tinting my sunroof and was going to do 20%. But I think I may do 35% or 50 maybe. Probably 35. But I’m still more than likely going to do 5% all around and maybe 35 on the shield.
@@TFBJFord If you're going that dark, then I definitely recommend the 50 on the sunroof. At least the front section, and you can do the back at 35 to keep the theme of "back row is darker" since there you'll still have 15 on 20/25 (effectively) and it's like 4% total.
Great video! i had 15% on my front windows then switched to 5% had it for about 10 months i loved the 5% during the day but at night it was hard to see you could still see a bit but it was sketchy so i had to keep rolling down the windows at round about and corners. Also want to mention that the 5% i had wasn't ceramic so it was harder to see out and the tint was dyed Charcoal. Eventually got over rolling down the windows and went back to 15% today this time ceramic.
Yeah I can understand that for sure. I have roll mine down now sometimes on certain roads.
Is 15 good at night, I have 5 ceramic and I’m worried about driving at night. It’s hard to see in my opinion.
@@llmcmuffll8254 yes 15% is good at night in my opinion i just went back to 15 ceramic from 5%. 5% is where the privacy is at 15% you can still sort of see inside during the day but at night you can't see much inside and can still see fine looking out.
@@michaeljames_ I appreciate the reply, gonna get mine redone in 15 for the driver and pass’s get window at least
@@llmcmuffll8254 no problem whatever you're more comfortable driving with. My current set up is 15% front two windows and 5% rears and sun strip.
Man, back in the day I did 5% on the front door windows and doubled in on all the windows.. WUT THE FUK WAS I THINKING!! I just turned 52 last week and think back on chit I did in my hay maker days..😳🤣👊🏻
🤣🤣🤣 yeah that was insane
15% or 20% is perfect for me. I rock 15% on my front windows of my Ram 1500. But this is Florida we're talking about. My old ram 1500 had 5% and I couldn't see crap backing up at night. Had to roll the windows down sometimes just to see.
Niceee!! I like 15. Except on very sunny days
5% and 15% are damn near the same both of those aren’t enough for me tho especially on a sunny day you can definitely still see through 5% i started going with a 5 percent OVER 15 percent for that completely blacked out look it’s def my go to now 🙌🏽
Yeah that’s dark as hell I bet lol
u were right bro, i shoulda got 50
on the windshield . That 70 helped alot with the heat fasho , but some shade woulda been clutch as well.
I think it’s great. Thanks for the video. Just got mine done
Awesome man ! Thanks !
I got double 5 on everything and 20 on the shield w a 10” strip. At night the sides does suck if I’m not in town but during the day it’s perfect.
Yeah that’s my only concern with 5% is at night.
I always 5% all around. I’m probably just use to seeing out the tints by now. I’m considering tinting my windshield on my next car just not sure what percent on it cops so iffy here
50% is a good happy Medium. Not too noticeable especially on a sunny day
Go 50% I did 5% all around and 35 on my windshield and it’s just a tad too hard to see out of at night. During the day it’s perfect tho. I loveeee dark tint but if you do a lot of night driving definitely reccomend getting 50% windshield maybe throw a 5% brow at the top to block the sun.
You gotta find the safe and aesthetic medium. IMO anything lower than 20% especially with a dark interior and no pano roof is too dark. Then add bad weather and night time driving. That damn tint becomes a safety issue.
Yeah i got pano roof. but I still think 15 is too light. even at night you can see through it sometimes
5% all around is the ONLY WAY down here in FL 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💨💨💨💨… u can see thru it now and it’s not even sunny .. I could only imagine when it’s sunny 😂😂 like riding in a fish bowl 😂🤦🏽♂️
facts
I would do 5 and then 20 on the windshield. you'll get that mean murdered out look. 35 will still be a bit see through in direct sunlight, speaking from experience.
I might go. My brother have 10 and 20 on the shield on his truck and it looks real good
Isn't that illegal? Even if you didn't care, it'd be super obvious and you'd make your car a cop magnet
I like 15/10% when i put 5 on my rear windshield i think the rearview mirror was dim cuz the only thing i could see was headlights of cars. Also put 5 on the front doors and at night was tough to see road lines/curbs
I can see that. But hell I have hard time seeing the lines with 15% at night. Especially on dark roads.
50% on my windshield 5% on my sides and double 5% on my back window.
That sound like the perfect set up.
Love this here, great job your ..5.0 150. Love my 2010 150 4.6 3V baby! Zero issues with her lift is 2.5 level with 35 Fakkon muds.
Appreciate it man! And it sounds like you have a nice set up as well
I have 20 on top of the 20 factory on the back windows so like 5%. 15 on the front. I actually started with 15 on the front, went to 5, and back to 15 lol. I couldn’t see anything at night even with street lights. IMO, I’d stick with 15 on the front and get 35 on the windshield to darken it more.
Yea I was thinking that but I prlly will just do 5% tbh i dont think it would darken it as much as I would like.
You still like this set up? I’ve got ceramic 20 on the back doors and 40 on the windshield. I’m either getting 5 or 15 on the front doors next week. I’m leaning towards 15 because I remember having 5 before and it was definitely hard to see out of but it wasn’t ceramic. The 25 ceramic I have right now does not impair my vision even at night backing a trailer but it’s not enough privacy.
5s and 35 shield a slightly see through during day but doable at night very rainy nights and backroads give you some trouble. I think driver experience and how well you know your car are big factors however to darker tints n less light.
I agree. I feel like even rainy nights and backroads will give you trouble no matter the tint. Idk what’s on my other car but it’s very light All around and no tint on windshield and I have trouble seeing out of that at night. But I agree with you driver experience and how well you know your car helps!
I like 35% tint. That smoked look. Just enough privacy to keep people guessing. Sometimes depending on the vehicle color 5% can take away from the look of the car.
I think 5% makes every truck look good to me lol. But yeah I agree with 35%
35 is good for driver and passenger and doesn't attract cops while doing a fair bit of sun protection. I think it's pretty bright not smoky unless it's afternoon. I'd go 5% on the rear ones tho😇 love the contrast
You have to do the windshield some kind of tint to enjoy your side tints. I just did 15 percent and its fine, but the WS has nothing. I may do 60 percent WS
50% is a great start. really not noticeable on the inside.
@@TFBJFord I have 35% all around in another car and compared to my 15% it was a big waste of money cause it barely helps. These kinds of video straight up telling people to not waste money on light tints is what is up.
I’ve got the same setup with 15% on the front sides and 50% on the windshield and a 5 percent brow 2 inches below the as1 line. May go 5% on the front sides next time, for now it’s good enough.
I'm thinking about going 5% all the way around and 30% in front windshield for my truck.
That’s what Im going to do when I redo my tint
I'm in the same boat as you. I bought my first truck in October and did 15 the same exact tint setup as you did on yours and I hate it. I'm definitely going to peel it off and do 5% after the holidays. I'm in South Florida and even in December it's in the 80s and the sun is properly bright out here.
Yeah you definitely need 5 in Florida lol
@@TFBJFord yeah I'm going to remove the 50% on the windshield and replace it with 20% and 5% all around.
@@Anthstew85make sure to get ceramic tint for the best heat rejection
@@vaughnsantiago1 Trust me I know the heat is no joke down here. I usually use Llumar or 3m Ceramic on my vehicles. especially on the front windshield.
So with that set up its nice.. ive seen my unkle rock 5 over somthing not sure. But doesnt seem darl. But at night it does look petty dark.. i think ill go 35 over my 20%. Front. The rest is 5% back and rear . And 50% ceramic upfront... If you want that fark look then go for 35% windshield up front. 35% rear and back. And not mess with your front windows. It well look darker by noon. Becuase visibility womt be that well if you add 5% on top of your 15%.. i had 20% Windshield but with no lights anywhere it was so hard to see even with led lights. And glasses on.
Yeah 35% is best if you want the dark look. I’m definitely doing 5% on the sides here soon for sure
That’s a clean truck!
Love the style
Appreciate it man !
Yeah I got 15 and you can still see through it easily kinda sad
I got 5% all around and 30% on my front windshield. Not going to lie the only thing I hate when it rains I can’t see crap! So I had to buy them legal morimoto amber lights as fog lights to be able to see lol
damn lol i could definitely see myself having issues in the rain. Because I have issues now 🤣
Thats what i have on my car that 15% and on sunny days at certain angles you can see my silhouette and i hate i didnt go darker
Are you going to go darker ?
If you want your 15%/20% (they're pretty much the same) to appear darker, you should go 35% windshield and make the interior black, you won't be able to see in unless there's direct light coming from the windshield
Can’t decide ! my boy just got 50 on the windshield which in the day looks completely visible so i’m gonna get 35 for sure. But he also got 20% on front and i want mine to be darker. I’m getting ceramics so im not to bothered but i just don’t know if i should get 15 or 5. I also feel like it’d be the same likely hood of getting pulled over for 5 as it would for 15. i just don’t know and my appointment is thursday 😂.
You will get use to 15. If you want it to
Look blacked out during the day I’d go 5. Because 15 in the front is pretty visible and can see right through it when you walk up on it. But From distance and cloudy/rainy days It looks dark though. If I was to do it all over I would go 5 and 35 or leave 15 percent and 20 percent on the windshield
i have 5 on top of tint so it reads as 1 on a reader and thats all around and 45 on the windshield all ceramic too and at night windows have to go down bc its hard to see out
Damnn. That’s my only concern is at night.
Should have done 15 percent all around.. and then front windshield 50 percent.. looks dope and u wont get pulled over by cops
I have same body truck, platinum. I got 5% all around and 35 shield. I thought it was took light for some reason, was thinking maybe it was the brand tint they used but it reads 5 on meter. I went get another layer of 5 and it was like spray painting my windows black. I peeled one layer off and I’m back to just 5, I never realized how perfect 5 is though. Guess my eyes used to it. I’ve had 5 on all my trucks
Damn I can’t imagine another layer of. 5% 🤣 yeah im definitely going back to get 5%. I’m thinking about leaving my back side windows as they are tbough since it’s practically at about 5% with the factory privacy glass. Still not all the way sure though
I have 5 over factory, it’s not bad at all. Slight darker than factory. I’d suggest doing it.

I went 5% nano flex ceramic around even panorama sunroof and nano flex ceramic clear on the front
5% on the pano? I was thinking of tinting my pano either 20 or 35. I don’t want it too dark but nice enough to still look up and see clearly out of it.
I’ve had 14.5% ceramic on all my windows for 2.5 years, if it’s good quality tint there’s literally a negligible difference in visibility on the inside
Yeah I’m planning to do 5% ceramic at some point
What does the ceramic do vs non ceramic?
@@brandonnguyen1486 heat rejection, people will tell you all kinds of made up nonsense, but at the end of the day it’s just for heat rejection.
@@brandonnguyen1486 the ceramic blocks more energy, reducing the heat in the vehicle. You can feel the difference like night and day.
15 looks dark as hell lol
It’s not that bad lol. On dark roads and no street lights it can be hard to see out of sometimes
5% tenant windows, 20% tenant windows 35% tinted windows. There are a lot of choices but you gotta be careful if you get something dark on your car watch those back roads totally pitch black you have a lot of blind spots.
You’re gonna have blind spots regardless of % tint on backroads because it’s so dark.
I have 5% all around on my service truck, I love it. Only issue is taking hard right turns it is hard to see. I do 40-50k miles a year.

a) In all states
b) in 5 states
c) in it
1. michigan, i think
That’s a sweet truck bro
Appreciate it bro
15% is what ima get cant see in your truck unless youre really looking, most people arent doing that. Lowest id ever go is 10 but maybe just the side back windows
On sunny days you can see through the truck from a distance less than 30-40 ft out. But cloudy days you can’t until you walk up on it
I got 3% all around lol you get used to it after a while
Damn yeah I know that’s dark as hell at night lol
Could just tint the windshield darker and see from there, I had 35% on my car because cops love pulling people over for tint and when it was nice outside and I had to drive in my town I put my sunroof down and let all the light in and my car didn’t even look tinted lol. Less light inside the vehicle the darker the tint appears. Might be screwing yourself getting a darker windshield plus darker tint.
Yeah that’s very true.
I got 20% and i wish i would’ve got 5%
Yeah lesson learned. Just go ahead and get what you think you want from the get go. And if it’s too dark then move backward

yeah I wouldnt dare do 5% windshield but people do it! Which is crazy! 5% is good until night time, but I sometimes have trouble with 15% at night on super dark roads. Just with 15% you can literally see inside the truck during the day and I don't really like that.

@@HEADBANGRR I wouldn’t do that. You can ask the tint dealer to do 10% if they have it or find some one that does. Some offer 10% some don’t. But if you do 10 might as well go 5 tbh. That’s just me. I’m planning to go 5% soon though for sure.
@@TFBJFord yeah I just asked somebody who does this for a living. They told me that 20% * 2 would give me a 5%. Which doesn't make sense to me. So I'll probably just go with a 5% to make things easier. Thanks for your help

15% looks great on the 2 front windows and like you said it gives you better night visibility. I know what you mean about the privacy tho. If only we could get the same visibility at night with the 5% tints 🫤, but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. That 5% visibility at night is awful and can be quite dangerous in areas with no street lights. It’s a pain in the 👀 to see out.

Can people see inside the car with 15% at night?
Honestly depends on the color of your interior. But either way they would have to walk up to your car to see inside. If you have dark interior it can be hard with no lights or anything around. But with light around you can see inside
