so i have a single cab ram 1500 and im wanting to put 55% windshield tint on but dont know if it gonna be to noticable, i have 30% on the sides and double 5% in the back window, but i will changing out the 30% sides for 25%. but if the windshield tint is gonna be noticable im just gonna go 25% on the sides. let me know if you understand what im trying to figure out. thanks.

50% is really noticeable with limo over the back windows. I tried 50% with 20% all around and it wasn’t too noticeable. Once I added a layer of 5 over the rears you can’t hide it. I choose 70% for my shield the second time around with limo all around. It adds a touch of darkness but nothing crazy. If you send me an email I’ll send you some pics. 

I've tried every shade at one point, my current favorite set up is 15% fronts, 5% over 20% rears and 50% on the shield with a 5% strip.  I had 2 layers of 15% on the fronts for a while and it looked awesome but 15% looks a lot cleaner vs complete black out.  I'd love 35% on the shield but the cops would tow my truck in no time, I got 3 tickets in 3 months for 50% on the shield already. 

Hey guys, 

I ran double 15% on my front windows for a while and I recently peeled a layer off because the darkness in the early mornings was getting old.  The top layer came off pretty good on both windows but there's a little bit of glue left at the top of the window.  Any ideas to remove the bits of glue without wrecking the first layer of tint?  

Thanks for any help!

I keep 55% ceramic in stock but do a lot of 35% ceramic for younger kids. I had 70% on my Tahoe but I didn’t like the way it performed. I’ll be putting 35% on my next truck. I have a medical exemption for sunscreen(permitted in Florida), so I can tint it as dark as I like. The 55% just doesn’t block enough glare for me during the day. 

 

So you think 70% would be a waste for $150? Did it change the look or block any glare?

50% is too dark for me. I do them in 70%, which is light but does as some darkness. Remember, front tint is for heat & UV protection, not to be unseen. Front tint that dark is unsafe.  I think some people just get so used to 5%, they just cant go lighter. I loved 5% back on the day, but dont like it now that im used to lighter films. 

I can believe that, the first time I ever had tint I went with 40%. It didn’t add any privacy so I went down to 20%. But in the sun it’s really see through. So I gave 5% a try and I can’t go back. I don’t find it difficult to see out. Plus I like the added darkness inside the cab, not to mention It completely blocks the sun. Love the look as well.

I've done windshields in 50 dyed and 90 ceramic. I have a friend asking me to do his in 35 and I'm dragging my feet.

 

I like the added glare reduction and the touch of color you get from 50 but would rather have the added heat rejection with the ceramic film.

 

Really it depends on what you are after. Is it a form or a function thing?

Both, if I could get away with 35% on the windshield I would. I loved the comfort the 50% added, you didn’t really need to use sunglasses with it. I’m not sure what brand they used but I believe it was a ceramic film. Plus my truck sits in the sun all day and I’d like some protection since my dash is leather. They charge $150 for windshields up here, I was wondering if I’d notice a difference in the cab with 70%, plus I like that light smoke look. 50% just looked really dark from the outside considering it’s a “light” film. 

I've tried every shade up front and I don't care to run anything lighter than 5%, nothing blocks the sun like that does.  I've ran it for 6 years and I've never had a pull over, I only got bothered for the 50% on the shield and where I live you aren't allowed any tint besides on the back windows.  

Hey guys,

I'm trying to decide between these shades for my full windshield, I've had 50% in the past on this truck (2017 Ram) and I absolutely loved it.  But the cops sure didn't, it wasn't overly noticeable with factory tint matching but once I went dark (double 15% fronts, 5% over 20% rear) it looked pitch black from the front.  I wish 60% was an option but its either 50% or 70%.  I know 70% is practically transparent but would it add a little shade since I'm running dark tint all around?  50% didn't hinder night driving at all and it added a lot more comfort in the cab, I'm wondering if 70% is a waste or not.  Both pics have 50% on the shield, just with different tint set ups. 

Thanks!
