GEN 2 Tinted windows on Lightning Blue

[ChevyChad]

Based on the pics shown would you guys agree that 25% is a good front/back match?

I had them measure the back when I had my front done and they told me their meter was reading 22%. I could have gone with either 20% or 25%. Since technically the legal limit here is something like 32%, I opted for 25% to be closer to legalish and still match the back as much as possible.

What's the legal percentage of tint in Texas?

Great info guys, thanks!

Mine is 15%, percentage to match will vary depending on the film manufacturer

Don't forget to put a clear ceramic overlay on the rear windows and windshield if you want to really keep heat out

I know it's not a blue truck but this is 3% if you are curious... works great in Sunny Arizona and keeps it way cooler. I love it ... The highway patrol not so much.

how ****** is it trying to see outside the window while backing up at night? I've always done 15% on all of my cars and even that gets a bit frustrating.

Tint update

Got the windows tinted today, thanks for everyone's pictures. Here are the before and after shots. I went with the 28% or the "medium". Matches rear real close. Its a little lighter with windshield light coming in. But overall it looks great. Hope this helps someone else.

Looks great. Thanks for posting. I was looking for this exact comparison, so I appreciate the thread. I'll probably do the same.

Tint should be legal in CA makes a big difference looks better and helps with the sun
Special here in the desert

25% here

You're truck looks amazing.
What tint brand is that 25%?
I usually have gone Formula one pinnacle in the past but it goes from 35 to 15 and looking for something in between.
