I have it on mine, looks great from outside, from inside it just looks a little darker. Much better than the "Strip" imo.

it's also illegal... atleast here in GA it is... i've seen cops literally u-turn in the middle of the street to write them a ticket for that... and its not a cheap ticket either... i've been wanting to do it myself but it aint worth the tickets... and harassment from cops...

It's also a safety issue to not tint your windshield. I've seen worse safety issues like no seatbelts or disarming airbags or getting those fancy removable steering wheel.

i got 45% tint on my windshield... no problems from the cops around atlanta......... yet (knock on wood).
however, i did get pulled over one time in my maxima for having 18% tint (pulled over once in 4 years in the maxima - got off on a warning.... not a single time in the z yet).

In NY, it is illegal as well. You can have tint as dark as you want if you have a diagnosis for certain photosensitive skin conditions, but you have to apply to the DMV and they have to approve it.

I seriously doubt ANY state would allow that, actually. I personally see no wisdom in doing so either.

If it's not that dark it definitely adds a comfort factor with the Florida sun. As far as how legal it is, I'm sure it's just as legal as the rest of the illegal tint on everyone else's windows.

Windshield tint is awesome. Wish it was legal in MO. Much more comfortable inside the car when theres barely any sun shining in.

Do not look through the various galleries yourself, and find photos with tinted windows.

Windshield tint is illegal everywhere, but I wear glasses so I dont have a problem with cops. IMO it is safer to have windshield tint than have to fidget with your damn visor driving down the road when the sun is in your eyes.
