blackout back windows?

Newbie here, '93 2 door Blackout rear windows? I'm looking to get some to hide my gear in the back, Anyone have thoughts?
They don't seem easy to find. Are they easy to install?

I think it would be easier in the long run to have yours tinted. Factory 2-door privacy glass won't be easy to find, in my opinion.

That's the way I'd go. Done correctly you can't tell the difference. And some places want too much for parts anyway. Not to mention the headaches of swapping out the glass.

Just get it tinted or do it yourself. It will be easier, less of a headache, and can be tinted darker then the stock glass.

I'm not entirely opposed to the paint idea.

Thanks for the input.

Just make sure you find out what your local laws permit....I'm sure your tinter will know what is legal.....and see if that meets your needs.

I tinted my own windows. Cost me like $40. I'm running 5% all around except the front 3. It looks good and any retard can do a decent job. Just learn how on YouTube. Look for posts from expert village.

Looks like Colorado tint law says

Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed on
the top 4 inches of the windshield.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 27% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 27% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 27% of light in.

And no reflective on any window.
Says the TintCenter.com

doing the same on my jeep- its nice having the tint though. my last back window was hit by a rock because I had some snowboards in there. the tint held the window up and in place. i say tint it 5%
