Just out of curiosity, why are you interested in 50%? Most state laws allow for lower percentage. I feel like 50% would be barely noticeable and a waste of money.

Cut night vision by 50 percent. That will be cool.

check your state's tint laws. you obviously got illegal tint already so why draw more attention to yourself

My Z has/had 50% tint on the windshield and 35% on the rest of the windows. As great as it was at cutting down on glare it was a nightmare on backroads at night. I plan on removing all tint when my car is complete and I would never tint my windshield again, just my opinion.

I did get a ticket for the windshield tint going into the Queens Midtown Tunnel but it was no more expensive than any other tint ticket.

Edit: I found some old photos from '05 that I've attached below. They aren't the greatest but they give you an idea.
