agreed... 35% all around for me

hate the look of mixed tint %'s

Problem is that the front is always going to appear lighter because of the front windshield..

mine just looks black..

@ night when I back in, I need to roll the window down as I cannot see the any reflection on the side mirrors with the tint.

your factory is much darker then 35%

Ford factory is approx 18%.

Jays truck got 18% and matches pretty damn close.

Speaking of window tints, just picked up a new Ranger - can you tint in cold weather or will I need to wait until spring?

I have had the windows of all the vehicles I have owned tinted. It looks much better and keeps it cooler in the summer, plus it somewhat prevents someone from looking in to see what may be in there.

The day I picked up my Challenger I went to Tint King to have it done. The rear window and the small side windows are as dark as they do and the doors are a bit lighter. I normally don't get the doors done that dark but figured I would take the chance.
