I like the looks of the 5% but honestly, it's a PITA backing up in low-light conditions.

Not sure what I'd do my next go-round. Probably be 20%

I am 5% all the way around but I agree it is hard to see at nite. I like 5% on the back and 20% on my front windows. Works well for me.

what tint do stock gm truck have in the back two windows if you have a crew cab? I want to go dark but I think I will just match all four windows so they look the same. Plus cops around me are jerks...

people have told me they are 20% but if you read the little label on your window it should tell you it says that my exc are 13%

depending on your states law, missouri is 35% on front drivers and is the norm for most of our surrounding states..... rear is no limit and if you have a cc your back rears have no limit... i went 20% all the way around on mine and it matches the rear and sides very well.. i like it dark but backing up to the goose kneck is pita with limo...guess it all depends on you and if your cops think your just a guy with dark windows or they think your some punk riding dirty;)

I have 20% on the front windows of my ext cab and it matches pretty good to the back windows, also have a 5% band on the top of the front window that goes about 10 inches down from the top.

I just have my front windows 20% to match the back 3 windows. When it gets warmer out I'm going to do 5 on the back and 35% on my whole windshield

I have 15% on the front two and it matches my rear windows perfectly. My tinter told me that 20% will match the rear from looking through the inside but if you want it to match on the outside you need 15%. I will try and find some pics.
