I had 5% on all the side windows, and 15% on the back, with 50% on the windshield.

Biggest. Mistake. EVER.

I hated the 5% because at night i couldn't see ANYTHING. Even reversing out of a parking spot in a parking garage mid day, I had to roll my windows down to see. If there was someone walking on the sidewalk next to my car at night, forget about seeing them. Not a chance.

the 50% on the windshield was awful too. Even though it isn't THAT dark, you can certainly tell the difference. The main reason i did it was to reduce glare from other lights. the loss of visibility was extremely noticeable. I took it off 3 days later. It was terrible.

I can't stress enough how bad of a idea it was. I don't know if others will agree, but this is my opinion from personally having it.

i have 35% on all my windows and no tint on the windshield. perfect for me. i'd honestly stick with what you have.

I think you will probably be ticketed. Why would you want to do this anyway? I think you would reduce your visibility too much and of course, you would be susceptible to endless ticketing and harrassment. Why subject yourself to that? Grab some sunglasses and call it a day. I wouldn't knowingly do something that is illegal and then get upset if I were caught and ticketed. Neither should you. And yes, windshield tint below the top 6 inches of the windshield is illegal in Georia. I am in Atlanta, and I have done a bit of research for you:
- http://www.georgia.gov/00/article/0,...267808,00.html
- http://tintlaws.com/laws/GA/
- http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/GA/

And before anyone says anything about medical exemptions: these exemptions can protect you from getting a ticket for the tint, but it won't stop you from getting pulled over in the first place and the following harrassment.

The short of the matter: No- don't get tint on your front windshield.

tint is overrated. just get a moderate tint, like something close to factory, and you'll be set. don't get a tint on your windshield either..rice to the max. its also very annoying having to roll down your windows every time you see a cop.

... No one should go below 20%. Less than that and you just look like a douche; not to mention you cant see anything at night.

I had 35% on DG stone interior and it looked good. 35% on my current LP with graphite interior and it still looks good. Sometimes with the G less = more.
