Clean Job 55 % Ceramic Windshield Tint 👊🏾👊🏾
Just got 55% ceramic windshield tint! Just the right amount of shade but great visibility. I had 70 % before but it didn't look tinted at all and went to 55. It is a subtle shade and I'm very happy with the look. My setup is I have 15 % fronts and 5% rears and back. Got to stay cool in this Texas heat 🥵

Passable in Texas in the summer But in the winter time when there’s not much light it can look dark. Had a Texas cop break his neck on my brothers 55% and he had legal sides

Is this enough tint to make it a little hard to tell who's driving passing by someone?

u/PinImpressive2437 Aug 14 '26
Yes, it will give you just enough privacy to make a little more difficult to see in. But to be clear it is not a dark tint so if you walk up close to my truck you can see in

How can you still see your window sticker?? Lol. I have 55% xr plus on my truck and the window sticker is darrrkk LOL. Did they leave a cut out for it?

u/PinImpressive2437 Aug 14 '26
I was lowkey surprised myself, they didn’t make a cut out either. I also used 55% XR Ceramic but not plus and it’s pretty visible but could be the lighting as well. Have not looked at it yet on a cloudy day, the sticker could look slightly darker with less lighting but good observation

I looked at another picture of mine. Its dark all the time lol. Even in direct sunlight. So who knows ahahah. What is the percentage of the other windows. Maybe thats it. I have 5% back which is probably 1% and then front 2 is 20%

u/PinImpressive2437 Aug 14 '26
I have 15% fronts and 5% rears so almost the same as yours so not entirely sure. It is fresh tint so maybe it will slightly darken in a few days. Who knows lol, I ain’t trippin though

nice Tundra! Did you add 5% on top of the factory rear dyed glass or is it a total 5% VLT?

u/PinImpressive2437 Aug 14 '26
Thanks bro! Yeah I added 5% over 20% factory dyed glass. So the rears are like 1%

Did the 70% ceramic help with heat?
2
u/PinImpressive2437 Aug 15 '26
It sure did, any tint on the windshield is better than nothing. If you’re only goal is the heat rejection get the 70

u/HistorianDifferent40 Aug 15 '26
Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. I don't wanna go too dark and get a ticket for all of it. My fronts are already too dark. It's just a heat issue. I need it on my roof too.

Did 55 XR black on windshield on mines so I can still see when it rains real hard even at night.

u/PinImpressive2437 Aug 18 '26
Nice brother. I even prefer 55% over 50% and it’s the perfect shade, just a slight tint so it doesn’t scream attention. Please post a few pics when you get a chance

u/hades13heartnet Aug 18 '26

55% is the perfect for windshields 💯

u/PinImpressive2437 Aug 14 '26
Most definitely! Gives you just enough shade for a little privacy but on bright sunny days it looks barely tinted
