I think you should look up the state you're in because each state has different laws pertaining to tints. Additionally, also if you're worried about tickets. For example, in NYC, the limit for front window tints is 70%.... ie: no tint at all. However, many people disregard this law, but they can get a ticket.

When it comes to the front windshield it might be a diff. story then the front driver or passenger window...If you have to appear before a judge at any given time, u will have no choice but to obey

I wasn't even talking about the front windshield. IMO, tinting your windshield is just moronic... why take away your own visibility?...

I have 20% on the front two windows and 35% over the rear factory tint to match.

It looks perfect, not too dark and "gangster," just classy.

NOTE: at night there is definitely a visibility issue if you are driving on a street/ parking lot with limited lighting. I have to be very careful at times to make sure no one is about to cross the street while im turning etc.


I would not even think about tinting the windshield under 50%

Keep in mind depending on your interior, sunroof (shutter open/closed) and whether you tint the windshield the tint may differ in darkness and visibility will be increased/ reduced accordingly.

if you have a dark interior everything will come off looking a little darker.
i have 35% over the factory rear windows, 15% on the front two, nothing on the windshield. it looks even and you can only see a silouette through them even on a sunny day.
also, shut your sunroof cover to block out more light.
don't do the windshield.
expect to pay a minimum 250 for all the windows, more for the windshield
