Probably do a clear-ish tint, to at least keep the UV/glare down up front and keep the heat out.. Add a dark strip on the windshield (brow).. and 20 or darker for the rear. Not allowed to tint the front windows aside from the brow... And they are pretty ruthless on enforcing it around here. I don't want the hassle. Not really even supposed to do the super light tint, but I figure it'll look pretty factory and barely make a difference... With the dark strip up front and the dark in the rear I am hoping it's not noticeable.

My Raptor had 20% stock rear tint, and wasn't dark enough for me. I'm thinking12% (the tint I am getting lists %'s of 5/12/23/37/48/72).

I don't know if the 12% is supposed to be 10% or 15%? Whatever... All I know is 5% is basically the limo tint, and I don't quite want it that black. But 20% wasn't enough, so that leaves me with 12% as pretty much my only option.

72 for the windshield & front driver/passenger windows... depending on how visible it is.. If it looks stock, I'll go for it.. If it's too dark I won't bother risking it. Get a transparent UV film.

Some great lookin tint in this thread! But I feel like some of these photo's are a bit misleading... Tint looks so different from diff angles/lighting.

I got my tint done today, I'll post pix up when it's lighter out.. Just got back from Christmas horror shopping, and it's way too dark to bother with photo's.

70% up front, 15% rear + brow.

Steelies+Winter Pirelli's getting put on tomorrow too.. so I'll wait until that's done to take some pic's.

Do some tints fog up more than others?? I have noticed that with all this rain lately my windows are fogging up insanely. And the AC/defogger in this car is not very good. Driving me ape shit. I don't recall it fogging this much pre-tint.

Yeah, not working out that way for me. That's why I'm wondering about the tint.
Blasting the max function seems to make it worse...

Had to roll down my window to clear the windshield, and it was pouring rain..... So you can guess how pleasant that was.
