Let's pictures of your tinted squares. I'm about ready to tint mine. I'm thinking about 15% on sides and back with 40 or so over whole windshield with a 5% strip at the bottom to keep sun off the dash. (Yes I know that's all illegal in Ohio but I don't care. This isn't a post of legality). So let's what you guys have and what looks good.

5% back and strip. 35% door glasses just to stay legal.

Don't have a pic but we did my cousins with double 5 on the back glass, 5 on the door glasses and a 10 inch 5% strip with 35% from the strip down. With the windows down and the back glass open you still could not see the driver if they waved. Looked really good but would get pulled over really quick these days with that.

That looks great that's what I need. They look just in it more menacing like that.

I've been looking around to tint my truck, just haven't made up my mind yet. For a windshield, I'd want something super light. Really just to help block out UV's and keep cab temps down.

No i mean the whole thing, idk why you would want that. And i know its completely illegal lol. My 5% is illegal.
Not on the back window State inspection wise it's all legal it's left to the discretion of the police in PA. Because for SI the only windows that have to be there is the windshield and back window. You can roll them down for SI. But if they are there they can't be damaged.

Well i had a cop once tell me my back window dont matter, it could be a sheet of steel welded in as long as i got mirrors but he was gunna fine me like $210 for each window that i had 5% on because he put the light meter on it.

Like I said it's at the discretion of the police that's why they carry those light meters. The municipality's cried they needed a revenue source so the state patted them on the butt and gave them that. I'd only do 35% on the sides.
