I've noticed in my 23 screw the front windows have 70% light transparency on them. I bought the truck brand new. I know the back windows and back glass cone smoke but do the fronts come slightly smoked now. I've never had a vehicle come stock smoked fronts

likely just the natural hue of the glass. LA heat is no joke, put some ceramic film on all windows including a 70% ceramic on the windshield and not bake for the next 3-4 months.
I've got a few shops to recommend if in Lafayette.

Yes fronts are between 100% and 70% light transmission the 70 on the glass just represents the minimum. But it provides no heat rejection.

O I figured it was no heat rejection I just thought it was weird it was smoked. Only thing I've seen is rear smoked but not front.

I 50% my windshields and it's never been noticed, helps keep heat down great though.

I'm about 2 1/2 hours from lafayette. I have a place here thats done work for me before. Tint is not at top of my list of mods but it's not far down. Lol. I like the fact it has smoked front windows and not just 100% clear. Then I'd definitely be in a hurry for tint. Hell I can only go down to I believe 40% in Louisiana which sucks. Cops around here look hard for tint so I can't go darker without having the tickets.
