Are you talking 70% film or 70% metered when finished? IIRC clear glass meters at like 75%. So 70% film on top would meter down close to 50%.

Both of my vehicles have 35% windshield/20% sides. The car actually has a 5% brow too. I used to think it was stupid to have a tinted windshield until I had eye surgery. My windshield tint reduces glare/halos from oncoming cars plus helps prevent migraines caused by the sun during the day. I also have a letter from my eye doctor stating I need the tint medically, anyways to each their own...now the pics.

That's the number one reason I got mine. I drive a lot of two lane backroads at night. The oncoming cars headlights burn my eyes and I found myself to wandering closer into their lane.

Never having to use my AC is an added bonus[emoji1360]

Actually Texas only requires the combination to be 25% or more so at 50% I'm good

I would guess its what the cops go by, which is probably with the meter. So by your calculating it looks like i can have like none lol

Yeah sold the Tahoe to pay off some bills since it was a 3rd vehicle. I've had a few other vehicles in between, trying to find something I liked as much as the Tahoe, and finally found this truck. It was totaled and I rebuilt it...still working on getting new doors.
