My 99 QX4 has the mirrored rear windows and I would like to tint the fronts. Idaho law enforcement looks the other way on over-tinting the front windows, but the tint shops tell me that they will stop you in a heartbeat if you put reflective tint on your front windows.

I would love to see photos of folks who have tinted their front windows. Here's what I have now along with a photoshop of what it might look like with a medium tint on the front. In the photoshop, I also pretended that I put another layer on the rears to block them a little more.

Reflective tint should do the trick. 97-99 Qx4's had the mirror glass while 99.5+ had black colored glass my tint

i as well have a 99.5 and am happy to have the black windows, i tinted my fronts to match and it looked great. before i was jealous of the reflective glass, but after matching the front windows i never thought of it again. In my opinion i dont think it would look good if you did regular tint in the front and mirrored on the rest, your better off just leaving it. Ive seen some qx4s that got that new tint that fades to mirrored.....some have half black on the top half and fades into a chrome effect on the rest. It looks decent. If your looking for privacy by all means go with the dark tint but otherwise, consider the half and half or leave it be!

this is mine...5% on the front windows and 5% over the back mirror tint...it made the back mirrors a little less mirror look...i hate having the mirror in the back i wish i had a 99.5 and up but i hate people seeing me too so thats why i did the tint this way..the only good thing is at night you cant tell that the rears are mirror...good luck..and i love the way fuelers tint looks
