tinted front windshields
1. It looks better.
2. It keeps UV rays and harsh light from wearing your dash and interior down.
3. It keeps the car cooler in the hot summer weather.
Why wouldn't you do it aside for legal reasons? I just got my entire car done in 20%. I'm going to get a 3M clear paint protection system put on next month and I'm also going to have my front windshielt tinted at 50% and a 20% strip at the top.

we tint windows and windshields all the time at my work...we tell people it's illegal, they are aware of it and want it still, and i'm not one to tell a customer don't give me your money
a tinted windshield really sets a car off IMO....i'm so used to it when i get in a car that does not have a tinted windshield i'm like "woa...this isn't right"

UV rays? Really? UV rays cause tanning, sun burns, and can lead to skin cancer. Have you experienced any of the aforementioned effects whilst standing/sitting behind a window? If you have, let me know. I'd like to avoid whatever brand or quality of glass you're using. Thanks.

There is no way you could see well out of that.
6% is the lowest you can get on your back in Texas. I hate that crap since 5% is the lowest in the rear in New Mexico...
6% ??? that's about stupid. I don't even know a place I could buy 6% from. I don't understand why it's not 5.
That 20% front windshield is crazy. I hope no one else tries it... like Top Gun, "you're dangerous!" I do appreciate the post about it though.
I thought about doing the top & bottom 8" or so on the front windshield, leaving somewhat around 12-18" of factory tint for visability in the middle. Or maybe even just the top 9". I don't know. what is the height of the windshield on a 4th gen?

I put 50% on my windshield and like it quite a bit. Sometimes during the day I wish it was a little darker for the sun and often at night with the xenons coming my way I also wish it was a bit darker. All in all, I don't think I'd want to push it any darker than 50% for safety reasons. I'll post some pictures when I get a chance to take some.

there NEEDS to be a law to make it illegal to drive with windshield tint... anyway check this out:

I'm pretty sure Texas law on tint is 35% on front windows (pass. and driver sides) no windshield tint below the as-1 line and as dark as you want it in the back, the only ones that you can get a ticket for is the from windows and windshield.
I love the tint on my truck, a great investment to protect things in ur car
I'd never go darker than 50% on a full front windshield tint. You have to be able to see perfectly clear out of it. It would help tremendously to cut glare, it would tie in better with side tint, and keep the interior looking better longer even though it's so mild at 50% (which is some light might not even appear to be tinted).
