Anyone know the legal tint allowed for NC? That being said..

-what tint % do you do over the factory to stay legal?

-can you tint the soft back window?

-whats the darkest you can do on your windshield?

Alright, you guys got me. I had the front driver / passenger windows tinted this weekend and its amazing. I am now considering the windshield, but want a very light tint - just enough to take the edge off, if you will. Definitely dont want to impede night time vision, but would like to reduce the glare factor a bit.

Now that Im driving around with the front windows tinted and the windshield unmodified, its like im staring at the sun all the time haha, it exacerbates it quite a bit.

Wanted to update this thread with the tinting I had done on the new Gladiator. I decided to do some cost saving and with with carbon instead of carbon ceramic. I also did not tint the windshield after the last fiasco of having to replace the windshield on the white Jeep 2 days after I got it tinted, Basically, $250 down the drain. That being said, I did notice a difference in heat rejection not being as good with the carbon vs the carbon ceramic and wish I would have gone with the latter.

I had 20% put on the front and 35% put on the sides and rear over the factory privacy glass.

I had mine done this weekend. I went with 40 over the back factory and 20 on the front. They didn't have 35 in the same film as 20, and I thought 30 would be too dark over the back. I wish I had gone darker now, but hopefully this will cut down on the "mirror effect" inside at night a little?? Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the way it looks!
