I found a picture with the top down, you can't tell me this isn't noticeable lol.. So just imagine with the top up and 4% tint covering the rest of the windows..



I used to get blinded by almost everything, but then again a lot of drivers use their high beams when they shouldn't..

Is it legal to tint your entire windshield? Here in AZ you can only tint the windshield to the AS-1 line.

I bought my S already tinted so I don't know the % but it's very little. My TL has limo tinted in back and at night it's near impossible to reverse without rolling down the windows and using the side mirrors. Or just leave the windows up, pray and reverse yelling YOLO.

LOL! Yeah definitely illegal, but mine is almost completely clear on the front, the only way you would be able to tell is if it started to bubble.

90% crystilline windshield + windows, i did i to prevent dash cracks long term. on the hottest summer day i can get in to my car, and my seats dont burn me, ac is noticeably cooler as my car doesnt heat up. only problem i've observed has been my friends transition lens dont work, lucky for me i dont wear glasses.

Tint laws are strict here in cali, got pulled over for it a few times but i run 50% up front and 20% on the rear hardtop glass. But the front looks almost as dark as the back with all black int. Really noticeable but hopefully not enough to get in trouble. Would never be able to get away with the windshield here....

when talking about window tint the % is the amount of light that gets through your window. the lower percent, the darker. So if you have 20% window tint than only 20% of light will shine through your windows. I live in alabama and the legal tint here is about 35%. I plan on getting 20% on my side windows and back window. I may not tint the wind shield beacause any tint covering all of it is highly illegal around here.

I have 20% on side windows and i think like ~15% on the back window and its perfect I think. I can still see at night and looks good from outside too.
