Thanks for the specific references. I have the same color so I’ve been looking at how carbon gray would look. I’m on the fence about doing much tint on the front. I can do the tint waiver for MS so that isn’t a deterrent. I just want a clean look

I’ve never had much tint in prior vehicles so I’m assuming this helps with some heat and glare?
My previous vehicle had darker in the front windows(not sure what percentage I bought it used) and it was hard to see out at night. The ceramic tint is certainly helping with the heat. It blocks a percentage of the infrared rays. And it does help with head lights at night, they aren’t as bright in the rear view.

That’s perfect. I’m reading up on that ceramic now. Tinting the front side windows will be just enough if I do ceramic on the front. I’m just glad to have a reference with photos. Thanks!

I went with 20% in the front to match the back and 35% on the windshield, BUT I give this thread about two more replies before the "DON'T TINT YOUR WINDSHIELD" people come after you, too!

Lol. I went with 50% on the Windshield. Not nearly as noticeable but helps tremendously.

A VERY good point I have not seen mentioned that often. It is downright painful when I drive a rental or someone else's untinted car at night.

And yeah, my 2023 had something illegal like 5% all around when I got it. I had to pay extra to get the old wannabe-limo stuff removed, but getting that all sorted was the first thing I did to my truck.
