little bit of a cloudy day right now, but even in direct sunlight the car stays cool. visibility is not an issue with 50% although it is very dark on the outside

I'm a window tinter in Louisiana and I do front windshields all the time. Most people have absolutely no trouble with 35 on the front. Everyone who does 50 wishes they would've done 35 and I have done a few 20 which is simply ridiculous!
Anyone who has their windshield tinted, take a picture from the inside looking out so they can see that it's not as bad as they think it is.

if you drive at night 35% on the windshield is a bit stupid IMO.
i can tell you i'm 100% satisfied with 5% all around and 50% on the windshield, any darker and i wouldnt wanna take it out after dusk.lol

Wow, I didn't know there were that many people with tinted windshields. I've got 5% on all of my windows and my windshield banner is 5% and I can't see crap at nighttime, I don't think I would try if I did mostly night driving.

Go 35% You wont regret it. The angle of the front windshield on F-Bodys make the 35% tint look like 5% because of the glare. 50% is a waste, it wont make a difference.
