Is 50% gonna bother me driving?? At night maybe?

What is the reason you want to tint the windshield? For looks or for heat/UV rejection or both?

If it's more for heat/UV rejection then go with a 70% ceramic tint. Should have very little issues.

Why do you want to tint the windshield? Is it for appearance or function?

There are a few options (ceramic and some new 3M stuff) that are basically clear, but will block out a LOT of the heat that enters from the sun.

Maybe look into one of those?

Hey guys i did my tint and decided not to do front. I was going for function not for looks. The tint guy didnt recomende 50. So i asked 70 or 80 but he didnt carry so i didnt do it.
Ill post tint on sticky thread this weekend.

well if you can still do it, i'd say go for it.
here's how mine looks

if it's not for looks, i'd say go for a 5% visor strip to block UV rays and bright light. That way you still have most of the windshield unobstructed in any way by tint, especially at night.

I read this a few days ago and it has been sort of festering in my head -- like a song that you can't stop playing in your brain. It dawned on me why and it has to do with you not wanting people to see you while driving. So, as I was driving home today (2 hours) I amused myself by thinking about why one would not want people to see one's self driving.

Here are some possible motivators for this mentality:

1. You are horribly deformed
2. You are ugly
3. Your girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/husband is grotesque
4. You drive naked
5. You are a fugitive
6. You smoke crack/crank/weed/grmmies/blunts while driving
7. You pick your nose while driving
8. You pick your passenger's nose while driving

I am sure this list is not exhaustive and that there may be other, more compelling reasons for your need for anonymity in your car.

Tinting the front windshield is illegal, dangerous and stupid, not to mention "ghetto". Put some spinners on your rims while you are at it. Just trying to help.

Good job OP didn't tint the front windshield.

Viera 02-24-2011 11:16 PM

I think that tinting the front window blocks out a lot of heat especially on a 90+ degree day. If you have your sides and rear tinted, and not your front, to me it feels really uncomfortable. It not only serves a purpose, but I think it looks better. Just my :twocents:

junior_jam 02-25-2011 06:47 PM

That's so awesomely illegal. I love it. I wish I had the balls to do it.

When dropped my car off at the tint shop the guy before me had a ridiculously lifted white chevy silverado, that was getting the 20% removed from the windshield to put 5% all the way around!!! I couldn't believe it!
