Nice that you can do that in NY, as here in TX they'd pull you over sooooo quick. Pretty illegal in Texas.

Looks good tho.

looks good indeed, i had 35% on my front windshield before it was busted and removed for a new one, and i've had two different cars 95 firebird, and my z with the tinted windshield in tx, and never been pulled over for it, I've actually been pulled over for various other things without the officer even noticing, even when looking at my inspection sticker area.

So what do you do with your inspection/registration stickers?

I got 35% on my windshield. It was a pain driving at night until I got the 6k HID kit

OP, I like the 50% though I think I will redo mine that way.

honestly, you can barely tell the difference between an untinted vs. a tinted windshield at night, or day. The tint majorly effects the outside appearance of the window, but from the inside it's hardly even noticeable. Obviously at night, you have your headlights to guide your sight on the road. Think of it this way, Which ever side of the glass has the most light hitting it is going to be the darkest. For instance, even on a stock car tinted or not whenever you have an interior light on inside the car at night, say the dome, or map light. it is nearly impossible to see while backing up, or sometimes going forward. that is because the majority of the light is on the inside of the car causing that light to then be reflected back at you causing the window to appear darker.
