Not an F-Body but you get the idea. This is 20%, I reccomend 35%.

Well...that only lasted about one day with the cops around here. It was my buddy's truck. He got pulled over the day after it was done and the cop told him to take it off right then and there or he was impounding it. Luckily it came right off. He sold that truck to get a Cobra and has 35% on the windshield of that car. I've driven the Cobra at night with the 35% windshield and it's not bad. Keep in mind all of the other windows on the car are tinted too. I hope you have good vision too.

Good luck in any form of legal situation when you get into an accident with tint on your windshield.

^^well side windows are illegal as well, and when I got them done the guy just told me to not tell them where I got it done, I payed with cash, but he said he would have taken debit, or credit....but, yeah it is illegal for them to put it on, so its better if you know the person that is doing your tint

That depends on the state man...side windows aren't always illegal, for instance, here in MA, I can run 35% all around, including the side windows. I can also tint the first 6" of the windshield with anything "non-reflective"...they also require that I have both of my outside rearview mirrors if my back window is tinted (and it'd look stupid without them anyways). This link shows laws state by state http://www.tintcenter.com/laws/

Ive got 45% on my windshield, 20 on the sides and 5 on the back. Its not bad at all to see out of. At night its abit tougher but its no worse then driving an older car, with abit weaker head lights. It isnt too bad man.

You would have to go with a light tint so that you would able to see at night. I'm pretty sure cops would give you **** all the time. I don't think it's worth it...

I've had 35% on my side windows and 5% in the back and anything above 20% is a waste of money in my opinion. I took the bird 2 weeks ago to get 5% all around and the visor strip and now much more satisfied.

Go Big or dont do it at all! I got my sides and hatch window all done at 5% when I first got the car and never looked back. Cops here in NY have nothing to do and are a PITA so sometimes I get nervous when rippin around with the windows up b/c they just look for things to pull you over with

Heres a very old pic when I first got my car after getting the windows tinted for your enjoyment even though the front windshield isnt done, you get the look of 5% "limo" atleast.....
