Mine's tinted Avalanche Gray. And made of aluminum.

I don't know why I bothered responding to you, if this is all I had to say.

I'm leaving mine as it is. I don't understand all the tinting going on general though.

It is your truck just do what you want.

There's concerns that the sunroof could crack from not allowing good heat dissipation and subsequently causing the roof to crack.

Never heard of that before. I can see where it may make sense.

Absolutely do it

Cracking is a risk when you go too dark

Air 80 on the windshield and moon roof still cuts out 45% of the heat - 2 largest pieces of glass on the truck so you'll still feel the heat in the cab if you only ceramic the side and rear window

Thanks. That's exactly what I intended to do was tint it with Air-80 and then ceramic 35% on the sides.

My pops has the pano roof in his lariat. Tinted it with 25% and loves it. Never closes the shade anymore.

I'll report if he has any mysterious cracking problems.

Tinted with 5%, no issues.

Perfect as you can leave the shade open constantly even in bright days and it does not intrude into the cab.
