Looks great! Did you have all the window's done? And looks like the tint matches perfectly, even though you said 15% and 5%? I had my mustang done at 20% I don't know if I'd want it any darker up front. But with all the tint matching it looks awesome!

Agree on both points. I have 19% on my fronts (Pinnacle 15 ... misnomer) and that's dark enough. As it is I have to put my windows down sometimes when I'm out in the woods so I can see wtf is going on.

Does anyone know what the factory tint percentage is for front and rear windows?

Typically never less than 35% in front.

Some states are very strict. Personally I'd never go less than 20%(or 15 depending on brand).

Ripping off tint can suck and leave undesired looks. Unless you have someone who have a doc note for skin issues. Then that's the exception. Don't ask how I know.

Fronts are not tinted from factory (maybe just some UV protection). Factory tint on back windows for SUVs is 15-20% so that's what you would get on the fronts to match. As above, my truck is tinted at 19% in front (Pinnacle 15) and matches the back.




Here's another photo with less sunlight:

I had mine metered at a tint shop and the rears measured 16% VLT and the fronts 72%. That's the lowest I've seen factory glass measure although the tint guy said he's seen 14% in the rears, on a Porsche I think he said.

Anyway I added Stratos 50 (which is 56% VLT according to their specs) all around including windshield and it's great. Not too dark at night but it definitely makes a difference on glare day and night, as well as heat. I'll post a pic once I wash it.

Compared to my last car (Jeep Grand Cherokee) the steeper angle of the Expy windshield gives me noticibly less rainbowing with polarized sunglasses than the JGC did.

Yeah and forget using the side mirror's at night!

And for other member all cars with air conditioning have factory timt. It's not much and I don't recall the % right off but they are tinted. Ohio law will only let you tint front side windows barely any darker than factory!
