35% tint pictures needed

I'm looking to tint my front side windows soon. Does anyone have pictures of an 03-06 Expedition with 35% tint on the front 2 windows?

Joe, check out my gallery. My expy is a 3rd Gen but it will give you an idea of what 35% looks on the front windows.

Yeah that's what I've read to and what the tine shop told me. I like the idea of them matching but want to make sure I still have good night visibility out of those 2 windows.

Hey Joe - I see you live in Virginia as do I. Our state has a limit of 50%. It used to be that inspection stations would enforce it but now the cops have "tint testers" with them and they can pull you if suspect. I believe it's rare, but if that one time they decide to.....I have 50% on my '11 Expy and it does make some difference. It works together with the darker tint in the rear.

Yes its the law but its a secondary offense so they cant pull u over just for tint...need to be speeding...run red lights etc...I have 20% on my wife's altima that has VA tags

Yeah - but that's just it, I can't drive 55! Seriously, if you drive the speed limit on the highway around here, you'll get yourself killed. You have to go with traffic which tends to go 10+ MPH over on the highway.

I don't drive the speed limit either...the ppl I know that have lower than 20% tint lower their windows when they get pulled over...it varies from cop to cop...my wife got pulled over and he mentioned it but never said anything past that about it...he only pulled her over cuz he was trying to cut in HEAVY traffic and she wouldn't let him in...PUNK

Yeah unfortunately VA is 50% front 35% back 3. I ended up going with the 35% and I'm happy with it.

Front doors: According to the installer, this is 32% film which yields a 25% (Texas legal) overall VLT. Hope this is helpful.

just use 20% tint, that is same as the back factory window, and its pretty light and cop wont pull you over for that, and when you go get inspection, just park it in the sun and it will show up around 30%-31% and you will pass the inspection.
