For those who have tinted the front windows to try and match the back ones, have you noticed that it is too dark to see especially when the side view mirrors tint also when light is shining on it? I am thinking of getting my front windows tinted but was not sure of the darkness.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks

With the titanium mirrored back and rear windows, there is no need to tint them. The back windows spec out at 28% (transmission of visible light) using a light meter. The fronts are 70%. Using a 35% film, the readings should be almost the same. You can have the shop cut off a small piece of film, lay it on the window, then take a meter reading. This way you'll know what to expect BEFORE they actually install the film.
