Default LRS windshield tint

I just received my LRS ultra dark tint windshield and the tint level is not as dark as the factory short shield that came on my 13 SG. Is this normal or do you think they sent me a med tint?

I think the factory short shield is probably darker. It looks like the dark tint from the web site isnt as dark as the short shield from what I remember but thats not saying much.

Call and ask them. I have 2 of their shields, both dark tint and no complaints.

I had the dark... it was lighter than my stocker. How tall is it? I don't look through mine, so i painted the inside gloss black. Looks totally black from the front.

That sounds like a pretty cool idea. Might you be able to post pics?

Yeah, their tint isn't as dark as the stockers. At first I was a bit bummed about that because I thought the stock tint was a perfect darkness, but I have grown to like it.
