ended up with 35.....not as dark as I wanted. couldn't talk them into 20....I may go darker later, I'll have to see it on some sunny days to decide whether or not to go darker or not.
on the up side of it, I don't have to worry about the police.

The banner for the Roush on the windshield absolutely shines with the tint banner underneath it......that may be the best overall improvement with the tint whether I went 20 or 35

given a choice of a free redo right this second, would go 20 on the front doors though

I had my SuperCrew tinted yesterday with Suntek High Performance. I went with 30% on the rear windows and rear doors and 15% on the front doors and sunroof. My installer had a light meter and measured all of the doors before he started. The rear doors showed 21.7% and the front doors showed 77%. The tint front to back is still lighter on the front doors when viewed directly from the side but from most angles it matches well. I attribute some of this to the light being let in from the windshield. Overall, I'm very happy with the way it came out.

I've got 15 on my front and 5 on back doors and rear windshield. When it's no moon it's hard to see but break lights work good enough to light it up. Plus when you clean the truck and see the dark tint it's worth it

The tint I'm putting on is guarnteed against scratches. I've used it/them before and it's outstanding. I believe most shops sell or can sell scratch proof tint now....just a little more expensive.


I've got 3M. The stuff was more expensive than the other options, so I imagine it's one of the best. At least as far as the ones carried by the shop which installed mine. Anyhow I'm surprised the window wasn't more scratched up looking back on it. Things get to vibrating and shaking around pretty good hauling ass over rough terrain. One positive, with them down ya get a nice terrain interior finish though.

... I'd hold onto that warranty. Ppl always get me by offering the warranty. I buy it then lose or eventually toss the paperwork.
