So I have a crew cab and want to get my driver and passenger side windows tinted. Curious, is the factory tint for second row of the crew cab 20%. I was debating between either 20% or 35% for the front windows and do 5% strip on the windshield. If you have 20%, how hard is it to see out at night? Appreciate any info!

I have 20% on the fronts, and it matches really well ... Love it during the day ... City driving at night is no issue ... Country roads with no lights, you can’t see ****, but you can see headlights fine031302ffa4ad370952afc697b4503d9f.jpg

looks nice! Was wondering about country roads at night. Don’t travel on too many, but good to know! What about in the day time? Any issues seeing?

Tennessee tint law: 35% visible light transmittance on driver and passenger doors.
Never give cops a reason to pull you over. :)
True... Was thinking maybe 30% if that’s possible? With my luck and doing 20% I’d be pulled over after leaving the place where I got the windows tinted.

None at all ... You don’t even notice it ... Other than you aren’t roasting hot

70% here in ny, not even worth getting any. I sure do miss having tint.
I'll take 70%. Here in NJ we are not allowed to have any tint on the front side windows. Back side and rear windows we can have anything.

Had my driver and passenger done with 20% carbon tint and my windshield done with 50% ceramic tint. Law here is 35% side and none on windshield. There's a lot of vehicles running around here with 5% all the way around.
