Why Your Truck Looks Unfinished Without It


You just bought a new Silverado, F-150, or Tahoe. You walk around the back—it looks dark, sleek, and private. You walk around to the front driver’s side—and it looks like a fishbowl.


The "Two Fronts" Problem: Manufacturers dye the rear glass of SUVs and trucks for privacy, but they leave the front two windows completely clear. This creates a disjointed, "unfinished" look. It’s like wearing a tuxedo jacket with gym shorts.

The $100 Fix: Matching your two front windows to the factory rear tint is the single most cost-effective upgrade you can make to your vehicle.

  • The Look: It creates a seamless, uniform flow from front to back.

  • The Heat: Factory "privacy glass" is just dyed glass—it doesn't stop heat. Our film does.

  • The Cost: It’s usually around $100.

It takes us less than an hour, but it makes your truck look $5,000 better. Stop driving a fishbowl.
