Hey no way man, thats a big one to get caught for where I live, and plus it really does make things harder to see, especially at night. I would never do it.

Try driving with your sunglasses on at night and see how you like the visibility before you waste your money on the tint, ticket, and potential life-changing accident.

I've been almost hit on several occasions by cars with dark tints on their side and rear windows - they can't see **** even if they shoulder check because the tint blocks out most of the headlights which otherwise would have indicated to the driver that i was there.

Like some others have suggested, it’s more than chancing getting tickets. It’s a matter of safety, especially at night. You owe it to yourself and other drivers/pedestrians to be as conscientious as possible on the road.

Be content with your underglow; it may look silly, but it’s not dangerous.

haha, alright guys, i wont go through with it.

what tint do you have on your other windows, I'd say it do it 50% with 35% front and what ever you want in the back. If you get a ticket, it would most likely be for front windows, but here its only a 10 dollar fix it ticket or pay 100 and you don't have to fix it.

as far as seeing at night, I only have a problem if it is darker than 15,

wow 35% and in the pics provided by dave that is has a v1 soo it must work with 50%. have you seen the ones with the 1/3 top tint of the windshield its to block some sun light but not the heat as much tho

So Cal summers...hot?? lol

I got 80% in the front and 35% all around. Helps a lot when i park outside. As you can tell the 80% is not for darkness factor but for UV blocking.

I live in So Cal and have 55% Madigo Charcool all around including the front windshield. It's a very subtle light grey tint. No hassle from the cops whatsoever

I'd be worried about any tint shop that would do something so stupid

I had my front windshield tinted on my Tercel for about 1 year. I got pulled over by FHP on 836 right by Miami International Airport and the trooper made me peel it ALL off in from of him or get a ticket. I had to drive with the glue residue on the complete windshield until I got home (20 miles) to use a razor blade to take the glue off. I don't have any part of windshield tinted in my IS350. I learned my lesson.

This is really interesting. In the '06 model information, Lexus made a big deal out of the 100% UV blocking capability for the OEM glass. It was one of the reasons I chose to repair my windshield rather than replace it when it got cracked by a rock.

I just went to the main Lexus site, and there is no mention at all about the glass being UV blocking. Anyone else notice this?
