in the tint thread there is one with 35% on all windows except the windshield... which is very close, use your imagination.

if you drive at night I highly recommend leaving your windshield untinted (except for the few inches at the top)

I personally agree with slammedTT but it's not my car and if you've gotta do the windshield I'd consider doing 50% rather than the 35. I'd hate to hit somebody or something because I couldn't see well out of my windshield.

i do think tinted windshields look slick... but I know if anything happened you could get really get screwed over by cops/insurance even if it wasn't your fault.

Do you mean the entire front windshield or just the top portion? I wouldn't advise tinting the entire front windshield... Just get a nice pair of shades.

I like the look of cars that have the front windshields tinted but wouldnt want to drive in them at night.

can you post pics please.

Yes this is my daily driver. 20% is dark enough for me but it isnt legal in MD. Which is why i wanted to do 35% all around, that way the front windshield would make the sides look darker. My car is white and the interior is tan so 35% looks like 50%. I dont have much prob sein at night and i have hid's so im in pretty good shape as per visibility.

Yes i mean the enitire front windshield not just a strip. Thanks again for the replies.

I got 35% all around including windshield.. black on black but might help..

This is my daily and I don't have any problems seeing at night.

Not a great pic but it was the best one i could find that shows the front tint

I had 35% on the windshield for a while. It looked cool, but i couldn't see out very well.
