Check the laws in your area before tinting the windows. I my self prefer to have as little contact with the police as possible....JMO!

I'd call a tint shop in your area and ask. Usually they don't mind taking a couple minutes for advice AND you'll be getting tech from a pro.


I'm fortunate in that my rear windows are factory tint.

My front doors are @20% and I love it.

The back window is not flat. It has a very small contour in it...

I've attempted to tint my windows several times and have decided that tinting windows is not something I was meant to do.

Good luck.

Pay a professional buy time you try to tint them yourself and they turn out bad, you will have wasted what it cost to get them done.

P.S. i speak from experience

Go to JY and buy some factory tint windows. My are factory tinted mirrored privacy glass. Attachment 129416

No offense but that would be a pain in the rear and would more then paying to get it tinted! Also that would waste so much time sorry that's just a terrible idea to me

I went to Pepboys and paid $35 for enough %5 tint to do my cargo windows and the small back seat windows,
Did it myself one afternoon, it was about as hard as putting on griptape to a skateboard
If you do it yourself, just be patient and leave NO bubbles haha
It's nice to hide my stuff from people, but sucks if you go night wheeling

No offense taken
Yes, it does suck at night. I did it my self years ago. On a 1978 Olds Cutlass. It was easy to do, just took time. But I eventually removed it from the driver's and passenger's door windows. Because I didn't like not being able to see out them at night. The car did look good at daytime car shows.
