So I am going to tint my rear 5 windows on Friday (both rear doors, rear quarter and hatch). I want some feedabck from the JG world. Please list the % of tint you currently have, pic if possible, and your feedback on what you like and what you would change.
My goal is to do 5% on all of the back 5 windows and leave the fronts alone (stupic Cali laws). I know my windows are already tinted (pretty dark actually)...so has anyone had any issues with putting the tint over our dark stockers? Did anyone increase tint % becuase our come tinted stock? Any and all info is greatly appreciated!!!
B-rad, i wanted mine front 2 to be around 15-18% but since they dont offer it at the shop i got 20%. i was thinking of 5% the passenger,quarter glass and hatch as well but when backing up @ night, the hatch could be a prob. Pic of mine with 20% and with the light factor, you can still see pretty clearly from the outside in
thanks Frank...do you have a pic I could check out? Yeah i think I agree that 5% would be too dark @ night over the stock tint...
no prob Paul thanks for the pics...
Davy - so did you just leave the rears and hatch stock? I really want to make it so you cannot see in, so it sounds like 15-10% tint over the stock tint will be money. I do want to see out at night so I prolly won't go with 5%. Thanks for the pic Davy...are you happy with the tint? And you can see out at night ok?
i jsut got my rear quarter glass install and i THINK it is 5% over stock. At day you cannot see anything from the outside in which i like. At night i looked back there and it would be hard to back up unless you use the back up cam. i would prefer it to be darker actually but 5% is a bit much IMO. if i would 5% anything it would be rear doors and rear quarters.( i just might do it actually) hatch a tad darker and leave the front alone @ 20. 15% would be great for the front if it's available. At the moment rear door and hatch are stock
Hrm, I am planning to tint the rears either 20 or 35% over the stock tint in collaboration with the backup-cam. I'm doing it this summer Davy, if you wanna meet up at speedworld.
I have 5% on all my windows except the windshield....it's 50%.
Can see through fairly good at night. Haven't hit anything yet.
But if because of Cali laws you can only tint the rear windows. Do them 5%. Because you never really go that far in reverse. And the reverse light is enough to light your way.
brad do you remember sitting in my truck and saying holy chit its dark with the tints!!! that was 15% tint! so if you wanna go 5% it's gonna be DARK!!!!
Have the link acid? I plan on doing it myself, since the rears wont be obvious anyway. Its not that pepboys stuff right? Or can I just use those for the back windows?
No it's actually good stuff, they sell the the tint pre cut for every window accept the moon roof for 50 something bucks shipped! Pep boys stuff has a purple color to it which i think is ugly, I'll try and get you the link, it's been a long time since i bought them.
just dropped her off! I went with 3m 20% over the rear 5 windows!!! Gonna be nice and dark but not too bad...and since I am super smart, I asked about doing my tail lights and the guy said "sure"...so I am going dark tint on brake lights and 3rd light, with clear reverse!!! Gonna look money

He is using 3m tint on the tails...he also has a warranty for any issues on the windows and tails/3rd BL! I am so stoked to have the blacked-out tails with clear reverse...ever since I saw Nates in the city I knew I had to do it
