As has been mentioned, it is most certainly not legal in Texas. Even side window tint is severely restricted at 25% max.
Wish I had your cojones, but I don't have the time or the money to bother being hassled by cops any more than I already do On topic, 50% tint all around looks Look forward to pics

I was pulled over a few times in my old car for 50% tints on the sides. Not even gonna bother with tints on the Z. I drive a lot, which means more likelyhood of getting busted for tints. It just gets tiring after a while, especially when all that cash could be better spent.
....On a related note, I have cousins in the Philippines who tint their cars stupid dark all around (15%). It's pretty common over there because of the heat. I wish they'd apply some logic here in the US.

Im not sure why anyone would want to tint their windshield??? I like showing off my red leather interior..... The tint looks good, but can you really are good at night if your ripping down the back roads where there is no street lights?

I had it done to my Tacoma. It protects your leather and dash from the UV rays and keeps the interior a few degrees cooler in the summer months. My a/c didnt have to work near as hard to get the temp down after work.

I would rate the safety risk of a 15% side window higher than a 50% windshield, myself, as I would need to roll down the windows to back out of somewhere during the night. Pretty damn dark. |

For the people suggesting tinting the front windshield to keep it cooler in the summer (say in FL) who don't really mind getting tickets or who do have big cajones... why not do mirror tint like on WRC cars.
