I've got 20% on the front two windows, 20% over the other 5 factory tinted windows and 50% on the windshield...love it! I would recommend hid headlights and bright led reverse lights for night time driving...my 2 cents

I got 5% of stock tint in the back and it's perfect :)

My truck is black on black so it's dark already. I might go 50% on the windshield after you all's input. I just don't want to reduce my nighttime visibility. I'm going going any darker on the back. I'm just darkening the front windows and windshield.

I have 15 on the front and over the factory tinted back, and 50 on the windshield. I LOVE it.... I also get a kick out of people walking past the hood and staring like hell trying to see what's inside.

Is there reduced visibility at night with the 50% on the windshield? I got the highest grade tint so the shop is telling me the 70% will block the same heat as the 50% but not cut down on visibility at all. It's at the shop because they're trying to work me in so I've got to decide soon.

CANNOT... MAKE.... DECISIONS....

I had no issues with 50%, 35% cuts down a bit but I need it for oncoming lights at night so the darker the better for me.

I think the 50 is fine also... it didn't cut done the visibility enough for me to worry about.

I have had 35% and 50% and I LOVED the 50% and didn't like the 35%. Call me crazy, but 50% was the best function wise and 35% looked the best appearance wise.

I plan to tint the windshield on the truck in my sig when I replace the windshield and it will be with 50%

My 60 year old dad tinted his windshiled 50% after riding in mine. It is hardly noticeable at all other than at night with lights coming at you and the heat it blocks out. I never once regretted the 50% tint.
