I have double limo tint all the way around except for the front. If you wanna get your car towed...on the spot.....tint the front...

50% on the front windshield is what was reccomended to me by the tinter. i have 35% on the other windows, and he said 50% on the windshield would not be all that noticebale if i was ever pulled over. 50% can be regarded as a factory tint.

50% on this car looks great. i know its a great move in terms of aesthetics and practicality, but the only issue now is legality. I think i will go ahead and set this as my next mod...

btw... how will my car be towed on the spot if the front windshield is very subtley tinted? im not looking to black it out whatsoever!

I would have tinted my windshield but I have TV antennas in it and I like the reception I get so I didn't tint it. However, I have had other cars like my conv 300zx with a tinted windshield and I never got sighted for a tinted windshield. They were to busy writing me speeding tickets instead.. point being cops never noticed the difference. I would recommend 50% if you were going to do it... 35% is kind of dark at night.

If you tint your windsheild are you unable to wear sunglasses also? I have a roadster and need to wear sunglasses with the top down and am thinking that with the windshield tinted it would be too dark.

I did it because it is hot as hell out here and with black cars you cook. I highly recomend it both for visual appeal and for also keeping heat out.
3% on your front windshield is just retarded. You wouldn't be able to see enough at night. Not only are you putting yourself in danger at night while driving, but you are putting in danger everyone else driving around you.

I want to get my windsheild tinted too. I'm not so concerned with legality as much as interior visibility. How hard is it to see out of a window tinted 50%? Or how about 35%?

i have 35 on all my windows but the windshield... i dont notice any decreased visibility. the tinter also told me 35 is the lowest u can go without losing visibility. but the tinter reccomended 50% on the windshield, since it will give u a lesser chance of getting pulled over. i think if i do get it done, i will go with 35%. no matter what, its illegal. 50% is not that noticable... 35 is a nice smoked look.

Anything up front is Illegal. But for the back, you can do them as dark as you want.
