Think of this....

You are involved in an accident at night, your fault or not, and the other guys lawyer finds out you have tint on the front windshield....

 

Dude I do windshields and everyone I have seen tinted was ticketed and the inspection sticker will ruin the tint when it is removed that is why most people cut a square out when it is tinted where the sticker is. IMO tinted windshields are dumb unless you have a medical issue requiring it or the state law allows a certain percentage.

 

ya i sat in a car with 35% front windshield, and damn it was just too dark at night. ima maybe do 50 or just maybe leave it as is, and go down to like 5 or lower if i can find a play that will do a 1 or 3% tint on the rest of the windows.

 

Great point TS. The lawyer would have a field day with that.

 

i had 35% on my windshield, for medical reasons. It was extremely hard to see out at night on a road with no lights or if it was raining out at night. I would suggest going with 50% if you are going to tint the windshield

 

ya TS that is a good point. i think its not worth the risk to make the car look just a little bit better, and possibly risking your own or others life's.

 

I'm fan of light tint. My car currently has 40% all around except the windshield, and i think its too dark.

But my friends GS350 has 55% on the windshield and i think it looks perfect. Plus at night it doesn't decrease your vision.

 

I think people are missing the point here. If you go super dark on all the windows and then go 35% on the windshield, yeah that'll be too dark at night. If you are going say the legal limit(35% in GA) on the windows then go to say 50% on the windshield I don't see how you'd have a problem. I do find it funny that most don't consider safety, laws or cops when tinting the other windows, but once it gets to the windshield you're gonna t-bone someone and have lawyers chasing you.

 

^that is true, i never thought of it that way.

 

Wow, very negative responses surprisingly. I have no issues with the windsheild tint....main reason i got it is because it looks great.....but whatever floats yall's boats.

 

Yeah, and you'll look great in that suit that's a bit too big while you sit in the defendants chair....

 

I have 50% on my front winshield and rest 20%. you cant even tell that it is tinted and i can see perfectly fine with it. it helps out on th heat and glare. 50% wont be noticable but if you go darker it will make it harder to see. you might be able to get away something slightly darker.

 

Likelyhood of this happening: 1 in 12,464,845

Chance im willing to take.

 

funny, i still remember when i have my car tinted with limo tint (dunno how much %) all around. i lend it to my uncle one afternoon, as soon as he pulled out of the garage he turned on the headlights, he thought its already night time

oh, by the way there was no tint law in the philippines back then

 

lol that must of been nice. no tint laws.
