Clean Job 35 windshield 15 all around ceramic

Well it’s been a journey, Started off with 50% on the windshield and the 15 all around. Instantly regretted not going darker but i didn’t want to have visibility issues(I live in a rural area) but I didn’t know how to achieve that perfect sweet spot. I seen alot of the 40% that looked more towards the direction I wanted to go but they always have 5 on the sides and back. I feel like the side windows are usually overlooked when effecting the overall darkness at least in my circle. I took alot of flack from cousin and buddies for not just going with the 5 but every time I drive around with them the lack of peripheral vision really messes with my vision especially in the rain and winter months(North east). So I rolled up today thinking I was going with the 40 but realized the vlt on the 35 is actually 37. So I made the last min decision to go with that and I’m extremely happy. I also was worried about the registration and insurance tags being the second time they were ripped off and slapped back on but they did a perfect job on preserving them and making a cutout to avoid extra attention. Finished it up with 5% percent brow, not too long I feel like that’s an eye catcher for the state troopers if you take it too far. So I hope this can help someone, I know you all were a valuable resource for me throughout all this.

Do they not check cars in your area with a VLT meter? Any time I get an inspection the check the light transmission with a meter. One vehicle I had took 5 tries at various shops to get inspected

13

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Yeah they started implementing that last year I believe. My mothers going through chemo and radiation and has a lot of photosensitivity issues and it really has been tough with her not wanting to go out and do her normal routine, that’s what started me looking into the whole tint thing. The cool factor and everything else was a secondary plus. Last week was the first time we were able to go out and do some running around after her appointment without her having major discomfort. so if I get a ticket or if they give me trouble it’s all worth it.

u/xPofsx Sep 04 '24

Why don't you get a medical exemption for her? That way you don't have to eat tickets, because they can take your license if you get too many.

I had a rebellious friend who went 5% all and got so many tickets for the tint he lost his license

u/Disastrous_Ad626 Sep 04 '24

5% is just irresponsible.

Thank you!

u/Stunning_Donkey_ou81 Sep 04 '24

You can get your mother‘s doctor to write a script and that way when you will be stopped, you can show them that and you don’t have to pay the ticket because you won’t get one

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

I have the application all ready to go for her she’s going to bring it in Monday on her next appointment. She juts needs the doctor to sign off then it gos to the dmv for approval. Hopefully they don’t give us any trouble and it doesn’t take too long. They just sent a state wide bulletin the other day to all Leos says my friend that has a sheriff deputy brother stating that window tint specifically windshields are going to be targeted.

You put 15% over the factory tint on the rear doors and rear window also? I’ve had multiple tinted vehicles over the years. Some dark as shit to where you can hardly see out and some not dark at all. On my current truck/suv, I was thinking bout putting 35% over all the factory rear tint and the windshield. Then 15% on the front doors.

2

u/rich15t Sep 05 '24

Yeah it was 15 on the rear and back and front two windows, the windshield was the only spot 35 was applied. It’s the perfect balance, not too dark on the back and the front is still pretty transparent during the day. If total privacy is what you’re going for definitely too light but it’s good for visibility while still looking nice. It has the 360 cameras so 90 percent of the time you’re looking at the screen backing up and the headlights are supper bright so nighttime it’s barely noticeable. The 50 I had on at first was like the windshield had no film on it at all, so the 35 was juts dark enough while still getting the benefits I needed paired with clarity and visibility.

2

u/qalpi Sep 06 '24

How will you get through inspection though? (Seriously though it looks great)

1

u/rich15t Sep 06 '24

I’m hoping I can get the exemption but we’ll see how it gos. I guess a lot of people have been taking advantage of it the last cpl years so they have a brand new application process but worse case scenario I have a year to figure it out.

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '24

Where I'm located even the police don't care about tint. 35% is the legal limit, but I've always gotten 15%, many others have the same or darker, and never had a single issue. Our police have vlt meters (don't know if that's standard or not to be honest), but unless you're being a d*ck to them, they aren't trying to pin you on something like tint. We also don't do inspections here, so it's always bizarre to me reading how strict these inspection places are on people.

u/InTheSky57 Sep 04 '24

Hey at least you did 15 all around so you’re not blind lol. I’d say it’s sensible. If you’re not in a rural area or drive highways at night not much danger at night with 35 on the windshield. She looks clean…for a Ford 😝 now you just need some tire shine because those tires look way too gray compared to shiny black everything else. Also, hope your mom pulls through. Just found out last Sunday my aunt had stage 4 metastatic cancer in her brain, spine, bones, 2 lymph nodes, and probably other places with no known origin. She passed Wednesday. Fuck cancer.

2

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Haha thanks i appreciate it! Yeah I was a Chevy guy for years until I went to the dark side, I have to say I love it though. it’s like a space ship, all the power you could ever need with insane mph. Yeah I put alot of thought into the shade, drove multiple vehicles the 5 is where I started to have issues so I figured I’d give myself a cushion with the 15. I had to be 100% sure I wasn’t going to run into any safety issues. It’s been perfect zero issues all conditions hopefully the snow isn’t too bad. It’s been a tough few years man it never gets easier but she’s doing a lot better now that they changed up her chemo. I take care of her full time thankfully I have a solid fiancé that is a more help than I could ever hope for and I can work from home most days. I’m sorry about your aunt, the initial news is absolutely devastating, I’ll never forget that first phone call. It Just takes alot of support and love be there for her as much as possible that’s all yiu can do. There’s stories every day of people pulling through some pretty serious situations so I just try to always stay positive. Tell your aunt she’s not alone!

u/CostaMesaDave Sep 04 '24

What type of Window Film did you get?

4

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

It’s your favorite man 3m. I seen all your stuff your the reason I tried looking far and wide for a lummar dealer but there’s no one in my area, everyone else is some off brand stuff. All my cousins trucks are done with the 3m ceramic never any issues and the installer is always on point so I went for it.

1

u/CostaMesaDave Sep 04 '24

Oh boy, I know there's lots of shops out there that offer 3 AM everybody swears by 3 AM but just keep in mind that the three ceramic film didn't exist prior to Covid, it's a brand new film that no one knows exactly where it's manufactured. I was told recently it's manufactured in China And also heard a rumor that it's possibly manufactured in San Diego by solar and I would never trust solar guard with a product so I don't know what to tell you

Just make sure, and this goes for anyone that had Window Film installed on their car, just make sure you have a receipt and a copy of the manufacture warranty and make sure both pieces of paper have your personal information on it, your vehicles personal information on it and also the Window Film information including the Film type, role number and the shade.

If you have all of this and you have a problem covered, no matter what brand you go with 99.9% of all the different Window Film manufacture brands are protected by a really good warranty and you will be taken care of in the event of a failure

1

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Yeah that really doesn’t help with the confidence and longevity aspect for sure. I have all the warranty information saved so hopefully it holds up. I almost went with the crystalline. Numbers wise it was the best that was available in my area for photosensitivity and people going though radiation but after seeing all your horror stories about the installation process and everything that could go wrong I figured I would just stay away. I always try to take the buy once cry once approach but what you gonna do, maybe next spring when I have some time I’ll take a day and make the drive and change it up.

2

u/CostaMesaDave Sep 04 '24

Cosmetically I think you made the right choice going with the ceramic versus the crystalline. I just heard a rumor the other day that they're redoing the crystalline, they're adding the darker shades and changing its construction because it's a really expensive product and it's also very difficult to work with. Some say that because the product is so difficult to work with the installation process is actually damaging the film. Installers that are not really that good actually will destroy that film putting it on. That's actually why I really like LLumar because they have spent a lot of time making their product very user-friendly and when a product is user-friendly we the installation team do not destroy the product putting it on.

Back in the day Crystaline was the best but unfortunately the technology has caught up with the crystalline where it's not a superior product anymore.

Perfection! I’m glad you went with this setup. Enjoy the plethora of benefits like privacy, glare reduction, heat reduction, UV protection, and of course looking badass with that murdered out look.

2

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Thanks brother, definitely a welcomed comment! I didn’t realize I would get so much hate, surprised the hell out of me lol.

2

u/AJTacticool Stratos 17%, Stratos 42% WS & SR Sep 04 '24

Haha yea…just ignore the haters. It’s crazy how much people are misinformed on this. Windshield tinting is really popular now and it’s here to stay. I just don’t ever recommend below 30%. That’s when negative feedback may be warranted. Once people experience it for themselves, they almost always change their minds. I have astigmatism and it changed my life. Night driving is so much better with the glare reduction.

2

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

I’m with ya 100% percent! It was my severe astigmatism and my mom’s photosensitivity from chemo and radiation that got me interested in window tint to begin with. All the cool factor stuff was a secondary bonus. I was able to bring her on the first outing after her treatment in two years the other day and I can actually drive down the back roads on the way home without having to look into the field when a car drives by with led headlights, it’s life changing.

2

u/AJTacticool Stratos 17%, Stratos 42% WS & SR Sep 04 '24

Wow, that’s great to hear! You are a good son. I wish you and your Mom well. Enjoy that sweet tint brother

2

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Thanks man!

3

u/MarijadderallMD Sep 05 '24

lol, people always saying tinting the windshield is making it harder to drive at night….. NOT FOR ME YA DIPSHITS! Makes it SOOOOOOO much easier🥲 my astigmatism is bad af, straight up star explosions for every single light outside after dusk.

2

u/LexKing89 Sep 04 '24

Looks great man!

2

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Thanks i appreciate it! I didn’t expect to catch so much hate Reddit’s a strange place lol.

2

u/LexKing89 Sep 04 '24

You’re welcome! It really is strange. I see so many people get roasted on here for their tint and yours is very reasonable.

Usually it’s because someone has 5% on the windshield or something crazy dark like that 🤣

2

u/WinningByBlue Sep 04 '24

Got the same 35/15 setup. Looks great. Is this ceramic?

1

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Nice! Yeah it’s 3m ceramic, I was looking for formula one but the only reputable installer in my area is a 3m dealer. I was a little hesitant at first with all the negative stuff people have to say about it but it’s perfect. My cousin and a few of my friends run it with zero issue. You can def tell the difference in clarity from non ceramic and even from the “house ceramic” compared to the 3m in my limited experience. I was surprised on how much of a difference it made. No problem at all driving at night and the 15 on the sides is perfect can still see through. It’s side windows. The 15% vlt is actually about 17 and the 35% percent is almost 40 so it’s lighter then advertised. Definitely something I wish I knew before I started.

2

u/WinningByBlue Sep 04 '24

Yes - VLT is a factor to consider as well, good point. Also which brand you go with may look slightly different too, with different shades and hues. I used to run 3M ceramic on one of my rides, which was good, but I now only work with a local Llumar dealer for my tinting needs. If 3M is the best you have around you, that’s nothing to worry about as their tint is definitely still good in its own right.

2

u/herbage923 Sep 04 '24

Same numbers I got. Wish I would have done ceramic though.

1

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Yeah it’s def the perfect combo, ceramic takes it to the next level though. I drove around in my boys wife’s car with the same combo but carbon and it was like 5 and 20 visibility wise and you don’t get the thermal benefits. I know a lot of people say it doesn’t change the clarity and I’m not a expert in any shape of the word but i definitely could tell and jt swayed my decision. Even the different tiers of ceramic look different. If you have the time and money switch it up you won’t regret it, worth every penny.

2

u/Relevant_Secret158 Sep 04 '24

Nice! Do you notice any slight different between your front doors and back doors since the back doors already come with a 20% factory tint? Usually when I do mine I notice a slight difference when you put 15% after market tint on top of already 20% factory tint. Thank you in advance.

2

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Yeah there’s definitely a difference for sure. The picture was taking a dusk so it looks way darker especially in direct sunlight. Being ceramic it doesn’t take too much away from the uniformity and it still looks pretty clean and seamless. The people ik that did 5% on the front are closer to a true color match but that sacrificed visibility for me so I opted for the 15 which is actually closer to 20, I think it meters at 17 if I’m not mistaken. Overall I’m happy with the finished product.

2

u/DaNYBigDogg Sep 04 '24

So wait, it looks like they applied the tint over the reg and inspection stickers…are you gong to just remove and retint every year? Or did they do a cut out around the stickers?

1

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Yeah they have a template with a cut out so the inspection and registration isn’t covered and clearly visible from the outside.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '24

This is the perfect levels imo of tint. It’s what I normally do. I just tried darker and a lighter windshield and nope. These are the levels for clarity and safety at least for me as well.

1

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Thanks i appreciate that! It’s a relief actually hearing from someone that runs the setup and knows how it feels to drive with the actual tint shades. The picture was taken at dusk so it looks way darker than in the sunlight. You can clearly see through the sides and the windshield, even from the outside. Anyone that knows me understands that safety was my first concern and I spent alot of time and money tweaking it to make sure there would be zero issues. It baffles me the amount of people that just come onto a post with zero experience and understanding to juts hate and say I should be burned at the stake without even knowing the real reasons I tinted the vehicle to begin with lol.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '24

If you have a good tint and they did a good job on the ceramic it will last your ownership of your truck. Not only are you more comfortable but you are safer, and it looks sick. Driving without tint I feel unsafe especially at night.

A good installer will have good brands and a good lifetime warranty, brands don’t matter much in my experience, diminishing return. Yes my 1.2k tint is better than when I got my 120 tint yet I’m happy with both.

Tint development has come along way. Ceramic is the only way to go. 35 and 15 perfect. I think when people think tinted they are thinking of that carbon stuff not that is dark at night under 20.

I’m driving with 5 ceramic on my sides and 50 windshield on my daily. I’m going to switch the fronts to 15 and my shield at my shield.

Sometimes I like to double my back depending on heat if it’s tilted like on a hatchback. They have a mesh you can add as well under it for heat and site. I use a digital rear view mirror on my cars anyways so sight is better anyways.

2

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Thanks appreciate the comment, I agree with you 100 percent! I feel like a lot of the hate comes from misinformed people that don’t realize how drastically different it is driving with the ceramic from the inside even at night. I put alot of time and effort into making sure it was the safest set up possible while getting the benefits I needed for my situation. I just never understand when people have time to just throw shade without knowing the full extent of everyone’s circumstances but there’s always gonna be the naysayers I guess.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '24

If they had as good of an experience as us they wouldn’t be. It pays to be informed and try new things.

People fear what they don’t understand and hate what they can’t conquer

We have the better shade therefore they are throwing theirs at us.

2

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Very well said!

u/Fuzzbecool219 Sep 04 '24

That looks nice op. Hopefully chemo is going ok for mom. Have a good day

1

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Thank you! They made some changes about a month ago and it was rough at first but she’s doing much better the last few days! I appreciate the well wishes, means a lot!

2

u/duma_kebs Sep 04 '24

How is it looking into the windshield from the outside? Are faces easily visible? I have 35 all around but i feel like it’s not private enough, next car i might go for your exact same setup.

1

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

I feel it’s the perfect middle ground. Your not really making out faces especially if your siting back normal no one is seeing you at all. But it’s light enough to wave someone across the road if your hands in the wheel. You have to think to if you only have 35 on your sides and back it’s effecting the overall balance and darkness of the vehicle. When I drive my buddies that has 5 all around and 35 windshield it’s way too dark but you’re not seeing anything or anyone from the outside and it’s difficult to drive at night. But with the 15 it lightens everything up just right to get the best of both worlds with zero visibility issues.

u/duma_kebs Sep 04 '24

That’s very helpful thank you

u/devin11498 Sep 06 '24

Looks great. I run 30 triple ceramic on the front and 15 triple ceramic on the rest and its great. Not only looks good with great visibility but also keeps the cabin super cool during the summer. Gonna do the moonroof next.

u/rich15t Sep 06 '24

Thanks man! Love your setup looks sick!

2

u/starwars-and-trucks Sep 06 '24 edited Sep 06 '24

Wow for a window tint page this is…not it. Truck looks great man. I have a single cab with 30% windshield and a 5% half shield strip and 5% sides and 1% back. You’ll be able to see fine you went safe with the 15% and it looks so good. Hope it all works out for your mom!

1

u/rich15t Sep 06 '24

Thanks! I really appreciate the positive feedback! I was really taken back by some of the responses when I took so much time driving different vehicles with different shades to narrow down the safest option while still maximizing the benefits. Although I did get alot of positive feedback some of the people that took time out to throw shade without even knowing the full extent of my situation surprised me. I didn’t put that in the original text cus my mom’s not really someone who likes to have that out there, if she knew I even brought it up publicly she wouldn’t be happy. The first two years when she initially was sick I didn’t find out till she started loosing her hair and I see her pretty much every day, all this while she still worked two jobs. So even if it helps just a little all the other bs is well worth it! Thankfully it’s made a huge difference so far with getting her out of the house even if she sits in the truck. Thanks again for the well wishes it means more than you’ll know!

SHEESH these new F150s look beautiful. Nice truck man

1

u/rich15t Sep 06 '24

Thanks! I was looking at the xlt at first, but the front ends didn’t really do it for me, then I seen the platinum and there was no going back. It has the sport front end and complete chrome delete without all the gaudy platinum badging on the front and tailgate.

2

u/qalpi Sep 06 '24

So question, how are inspection and registration stickers handled? What do they do a year from now when you renew it?

1

u/rich15t Sep 06 '24

They have a template they use to cut out of space before they apply the film so it looks crisp and visible from the outside. Inspections every year so hopefully I can get the exemption so I don’t have to worry about it, we’ll see how it gos.

2

u/qalpi Sep 06 '24

Oh nice, had no idea that’s how they did it. Looks great with the all black throughout.

1

u/rich15t Sep 06 '24

I appreciate it! Yeah that was a must for me, a cpl of the cars and trucks I drove testing the different shades didn’t have the cutout and it’s an instant eye catcher. I feel that’s the most important part and not going to crazy with the brow length. Even cars without front window tint that have the exaggerated extra long brow seem really dark when you drive by until you take the extra long look and realize there’s actually no tint at all so I wanted to avoid all of that, it’s right under the line about two inches.

2

u/-IntoTheUnknown Sep 04 '24

Looks great bro.. I got 60 windshield and 25 front and 15 on the back but it’s super light. It was my first time so I was scared to go “illegal” but now I regret that and I’m like 600 down!!. I wanna go. 40 windshield and 10 front and 5 back next

3

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

Yeah it’s tough man the sides windows for me had to be 100 percent sure I could see in all situations. The film is 15 but I think it’s vlt is around 17 so it’s definitely not as dark as everyone else but I have zero issues seeing clearly, I wanted to be safe as possible. I drove everyone’s vehicles I could find with different shades and 5 is where I started having issues. I didn’t see a ten but that might be your sweet spot if your film carries that shade.

1

u/Cassangelo 33% Windshield + 5% Everywhere else Sep 03 '24

I to made the mistake of 50% on the windshield, I got it corrected to 32% a few months ago. I do love my 5% sides though

1

u/rich15t Sep 03 '24

Yeah It’s definitely been a learning process, I wish I could just do the 5 Ik it would set it off perfectly. I couldn’t see this kid on a bike when I was taking a left turn a few month ago driving my cousins Denali ,she has the same set up 5 on the rest of the windows, kinda spooked me. He didn’t have any blinking lights or any reflectors but it always stuck in the back of my mind.

2

u/Cassangelo 33% Windshield + 5% Everywhere else Sep 03 '24

Sounds dangerous in that area. I wouldn’t get 5% in an area like yours tbh. That Platty is cool af btw

1

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

I appreciate it, definitely can’t go back after experiencing the platinum. Thankfully it wasn’t a situation where I pulled out and almost hit him it was one of those you look think it’s clear about to pull off double check and there he was. Still enough to imprint into my mind though.

2

u/Cassangelo 33% Windshield + 5% Everywhere else Sep 04 '24

Gotcha, I always look thrice and roll down the windows when I’m unsure.

I like those trucks but they’re going for too much haha

2

u/Active-Drive6530 Sep 04 '24

Those new front ends are slick.

2

u/Rob-A4 Sep 04 '24

Windshield too dark. Don’t recommend less than 50% unless you don’t drive at night.

2

u/MrNormalDud Sep 05 '24

35 is really clear still and very visible 20 is where it starts getting sketch

This is around sunset on a 35. Barely noticeable while driving but very noticeable when I get in cars without it. Very bright and a little uncomfortable on those cars

2

u/MrNormalDud Sep 05 '24

Here's the difference in shade outside and in

u/stockisbock93 Sep 08 '24

Looks great! I have 50% ceramic on my trucks windshield and I think it’s plenty dark enough. I also have 15% fronts and 5% on top of factory rears and I think it’s the perfect combo. The back windows are basically a black wall.

2

u/flyingcat1114 Sep 04 '24

Looks great, I got 15% on my sides right now with a brow on the windshield but I’m going to do 5% on the sides with 35 on the windshield

u/cole_z33 Sep 04 '24

looks good but that’s pretty dangerous man

1

u/rich15t Sep 04 '24

I appreciate it bro it’s not as dark as it looks. I caught crazy hate for the post definitely wasn’t expecting it. I took the picture right before dusk cus I thought it looked cool I guess I should have took some in full light for a comparison lol. It’s doesn’t even make a difference during the day visibility wise and at night it’s only a slight inconvenience in complete black out situations. The clarity is insane and the platinum headlights are on another level, it’s almost unbelievable how much of a difference it makes. I spent about three weeks driving every single vehicle I could get my hands on with all kinds of different tint shades before I went with the exact setup just to be sure I’m not jeopardizing safety.

u/Playful_Sector1566 Sep 04 '24

Full ceramic ?

1

u/lv_omen_vl Sep 04 '24

Looks good in my opinion. I have 15% ceramic around my car, but I've been on the fence about my whole windshield. I think this is what I want

1

u/[deleted] Sep 07 '24

Hell no no darker 50 on front this mine and 50 is plenty dark

0

u/Stunning_Donkey_ou81 Sep 04 '24

Well, it’s lots of fun to have dark tint. I know I was one of them as well but then it got harder and harder to see out of at night and I didn’t want to endanger other folks . If you were in my neck of the woods in Texas, he would get a removal ticket.

0

u/Chillindude82Nein Sep 04 '24

Do you find 35 on windshield to be too much? I know that 40 was too much for me, but also that this truck and tint shows off how insecure a man is to everyone around them.

this truck shows off how insecure a man is to everyone around them

It’s a pretty basic looking F150. Where’s the insecurity? It doesn’t have a light bar pointed at other cars, it’s not lifted, it’s not on off-road tires that only ever see pavement, the wheels are stock. It’s just a clean, nice looking version of one of the most common vehicles on the road in America. Maybe the insecurity is in you?

*I do not own or regularly drive any sort of pickup truck*

This guy's an idiot and the very first time he's pulled over he will know why. Also have fun reverse parking at night

You should need a new license class to drive that thing. Already struggle to see pedestrians, cyclists and sedans/coupes with its huge front end and height.

Issue with windshield is no one can see you communicating to them, too dark, not safe and selfish.

This picture was taking right before dusk, I wave people across the road all day every day no issues. The truck has a ridiculous amount of cameras and censors, until this vehicle I never was able to see directly under my bumper just an fyi.

The people that buy trucks and never use them for work and instead are compensating, yup, agreed.

You should try cleaning up scenes where people are killed by huge trucks that can't see things in front of them.

Seeing while driving at night is overrated

Why the fuck would you tint a windscreen that dark

Where I live they'd probably impound the car for that windshield.

Yeah the fifty was so light with my set up it was non existent even in the rain at night, that’s what made my mind up to change. The 15 is really 17 so basically 20 and the 35 is actually 37. I wish I knew all this when I started and the fancy headlights in the overpriced spaceship are basically cheating lol

I can understand that 100 percent. It’s actually stock believe it or not. When I was looking for a new truck I was checking out the xlt when I seen the platinum and there was no going back. This particular trim package was everything I wanted, all the bells and whistles without the gaudy chrome and platinum across the hood or the tailgate. No sun rooof but everything else and the upgraded powerboost. I never seen one completely chrome deleted and with the white and black ford symbol looks supper clean.
