I have, but I'm not sure what percentage it is. I simply asked the tint shop to match the tint on the back windows as close as possible.
I also put a clear tint on the rest of the windows to block out the UV light. My understanding is the factory tint does not do this.
Thank you guys! This is very helpful. I have an appointment to get mine tinted tomorrow. I think I want the front to match the back as well. I was just concerned because my interior is so dark and if you look at the vehicle from the front you can't see in it. The previous owner put a very dark reflective tint on my rear window making for a very obstructed rear view. I will post pics after the job is done on Saturday.
It is very hard to "match" the front to the backs, since the windshield brings in a lot of light, making the front windows appear to be lighter than the rears. 20% is pretty close, maybe 15% would be a 'perfect' match. Good luck.

You are correct, you would need to close the sunroof shade and cover the from windshield with brown paper if you use the same % tint as the rear windows to match, you have to go slightly darker like you said for really close match.
This is 40% on the windshield and 15% on the fronts. There rears are done over the factory glass but I'm not sure the opacity on those so they're darker than stock. I too have a reflective rear window that is very annoying and will be replaced once I get around to it.
Don't think I have any good pics handy but I have 18% on my fronts. Matched the rears well before putting 25% on them. Toying with going back and getting the 18% removed and putting 5% on the fronts. I have 45CXP Suntek on the windshield (actually has 40% vlt).
Dam dirty, did you put that reflective tint on the rear or did come that way? I'm curious because I don't get why someone would not want to see behind them..
Murphy, your ride looks good. The tint looks clean and professional. I can tell that it is dark but appears that your interior helps lighten it up a bit..

I know this has been a topic before about components and head units but it seems stereos can age quickly. What kind of stereo system have you upgraded to? Did you do a full swap or running some new components along side factory components? I am contemplating on full upgrade to include the...
Hi,
I have a peculiar problem with my 2008 ESV. It sat for about 1 week and I went to start it and air up a low tire. This car is in Texas, so the winter weather isn't a really big factor. When I put the key in and tried to start it, nothing. Not even the click of a starter relay. I also...

Thanks ahead of time.
Newbie here. Just bought a 2010 Escalade. I did not notice ( not sure how I missed it ) that the door reveal moldings are faded and discolored. I have ordered new ones.
Can anyone tell me what is involved in the change out? Any videos anywhere? I do not have shop manuals, I'm sure that would...
