I decided to get my front two windows tinted yesterday. I wanted them to match the rear, so I got 20% tint put on. It matches perfectly, and looks great. I got quoted 70 bucks in Denver for the job, but I found a place down here that only charged me $50. My friend Chris (aka 2runner) also got his 4runner tinted with me. I know that 20% is illegal, but the heck with that.

 

Looks good
Tint on my front windows is on my summer to do list!

 

I got 20% also and it matched stock tint perfectly for me as well. Only thing is that the stock tint is a *tiny* bit more of a purplish color when looked out from the car.

 

i am looking into getting my front 2 windows tinted too...do you think on a 2nd generation 4runner would be the same (20%) as your 3rd generation?

 

dont do what i did and go 15% in the front w/o getting the rest done... it will drive you nuts until you get the rest done darker

 

did they remove the factory tint or did they put it over

 

on mine, i dont remember the percent, but i think its different from 3rd gens.

also, depending on what kind of factory tint you have, you will have to get that mirror tint. on my 2nd gen, the factory tint has a mirror/brown look to it..and the mirror tinti matches pretty good...ill try to find a pic for ya.

 

can someone post up the link to that page that lists the legal percentages that states allow?

i need to know if 20% is illegal here in MA too...

looks awesome, mellamo!

damn it. 70%... thats like no tint at all, right??

 

Looks good! I have tinted all my cars pretty much from day one.......it makes one hell of a difference in the summer. And you definately should doall the windows, not just the front. As for me...I got as dark as I could without getting the limo tint.

 

Looks good! I only have 35% on my fronts because technically its illegal here to have any tint on the front windows and where I was living during college the cops would pull you over for small things. Now that I'm back home I may have it pulled for 20% so it matches better.

 

Yeup. From the site:But, the site also says:
Something else to think about... If you do any night wheelin' like some of us do here in the PNW, then having dark tint on the front sides and back window isn't a real good idea. If you get into a spot where you need a spotter, it's a REAL pain to deal with (and flat out dangerous) working against the tint.

 

Thanks guys! I say, if cops really give a damn and feel the need to pull me over for tint, then they have wayyy to much time on their hands. I'll take the risk. I had 35% on my last car in the front and it was pretty nice, and it was legal. But 70% is NOTHING, which really sucks. Hope you all get it figured out.

 

Tn is supposed to be 35%. I getting ready to get 5% on everything except my 10 or 15 on the front doors.

 

Cool, 20% is legal all the way around in NM!

I'll have to put that on my list of mods to do.

 

In California, cops give a damn and give tickets. And now the tickets cost about as much as the tinting!

 

5% up front and 1% on the back here.. I love it

 

can you see anything at night?
My sister has 5% all around on her 01 Camry. I usually have to roll down the windows and stick my head out when backing up at night.

 

I'm getting mine my fronts done too and I'm just gonna get it to match the rear and cops won't really give you a hassle unless they pull you over for something else and you still have your window up when they approach your vehicle otherwise they may not say a word.
