Anybody with tinted windshields? I had a buddy with a bright red 04 cobra (He said it was a Ferrari color, he had it repainted) that had his windshield tinted with a very minimum tint (Idk, like 65% maybe?) and I thought it looked very nice.
Kind of like this (Just googled some images)
Just wondering if anybody can post pics and their experience with it.

My dad had a lightning with the windshield tinted when i was about 16 it looked awesome and always stayed quite a bit cooler. We never got hassled for it but like cutless said its a pain to drive at night.

You could always get a lite ceramic tint-this will really cut down on how hot your dash gets and will have a very slight tint to it. I considered doing it to my Camaro but decided to re-tint the rest of the car instead. I do have a limo dark windshield banner (solid, not lettering or anything). 10" down from the top of the windshield and it goes straight across, so at the very edges it is I think 14" inches down. Looks awesome, and helps while driving into a sunset/sunrise. But, it's illegal so I'll be taking it off before long lol
I had my winshield tinted for 2+ years and had to remove when I came out here for certain reasons, but I lived in Vegas and California and the 3 times I got pulled over the cops never said anything!! I had it medium not sure what % that is .. I guess I got lucky ?

My car is going to have some body work done tomorrow then I'm getting the windshield tinted 50%. I've driven plenty or rides with 20% (yeah freakin 20%), 32%, and 50% and they ALL freaking suck to see out of.
That GTO is a dude's on the forum. He's got the photography sticky in the A&D section.

I have my Firebird's windshield tinted with 50% with a darker strip legally located across the top. That strip takes the attention away from the overall tint and haven't gotten any looks from cops. To me, 50% is way too light. During the day I barely notice it and at night it doesnt make any difference. The shop used a lower quality tint and the orange peel of the plastic really stands out at the angle our windshields are at. So buy the highest quality tint they have. I'll be redoing mine with 35% when I get the money to do so. Keep a strip at the top to fool the cops.
I had my TA tinted 35% all the way around a few months ago, and ever since I have been debating on doing the windshield too. Nothing ridiculously dark since my car is my daily driver and I drive at night a lot, but probably something along the lines of 50-75%. Does anyone have that percentage on their windshield?

Wow, exactly what I'm going to do. Love your car. Hoping to pretty much copy you with my black Z28. Chrome C6 Z06 wheels. Although, your front opening looks a lot different. What gives?
