Front window tint %

[TA5thGen]

I got my front windows tinted on my 19 ram crew to match my rear privacy glass. The reading on the rear privacy glass was 21%. I’ve always used lumar pinnacle or Stratos. I had a Grand Cherokee and F150 front windows tinted to match the rear privacy glass and they always matched up very well. Today they used 35% and it looks to light to me maybe it’s the panoramic sunroof and angle I’m looking at it. I even told them it’s to light. I guess lumar has currently only 15% or 35% they said 15 would be noticeable darker than the rear. I will upload pictures soon.

35% is to light. 20% is perfect. I still think it needs more. I have 5% on the whole truck and 40% on the windshield. Looks really nice. Just my opinion. Solar gaurd is a quaility alternative to match btw

20% Fronts

Yeah they dont match and the front barely even looks tinted

Op that’s exactly how my front windows are and I don’t even have the panoramic roof.

Matched the tint on the rear to the front windows and 50% on the windshield.

I got 5% in the front and 18% on the rear over the stock tint to make it as close to 5%. Looks good tho.

I didn't think tint could be that dark on the front in Texas, looks good tho.

You can't. Minimum is 25%, but I still went with 20%

Doing mine sometime next month and would like it as dark as possible. Police can roll with blackouts I want it too lol.

I was always told the fronts look lighter due the fact that the front windshield lets so much more light in than the rear seats. Even if exactly the same the front will appear lighter

So I just got my windows done. I went with 35% front, rear, and back windows. That makes the rear pretty much blacked out, and a visible difference with the front. I'm looking for solar protection and a cop friendly setup .

Yep, That’s totally it. Reason I went with 20%.

Ive never noticed that on my vehicles

 

[WRH]

Looks great! I did my front sides to match the back and def prefer that look! I didn't do the front because most of the vehicles I've seen tinted aftermarket have a hard break at the AS1 line that looks horrid. Looks like the transition on yours is pretty clean. What's the law for the windshield in Texas, the AS1 line or is it specified?

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I would like to get the fronts tinted to be closer to the rears, without impacting night vision driving much, any recommendations?

20 to 25% on just the front 2 windows is about right. If you want to make all the windows a little darker then 15% front and 50% added to the rear comes out to nearly the same shade.
