My front window is 50% it was on it when I got it. I do love it at the track though because the sun is always in your eyes at night.
No one even notices that mine is tinted. I didn't even know myself till I was cleaning it one day and noticed a small tear in the tint.
It will be gone because I am putting a new window in this month though. Not sure if I will redo it.
my sides are 35% as well as the back window.
It makes the sides look darker.
My grandfather has 5 on back of his truck with 35 on the sides and front.
It looks as if the sides 20 until you open the door and look thru it from the inside. I would not run any darker than 35 on the front as his is borderline too dark IMO.

Yeah dude... that looks badass...but I would probably crash at night. LOL!

I have the lightest shade available on my front windshield and it makes a huge difference. However with the f-body's large sloping front windshield the only time I get blinded by the sun is when I drive into it. Very seldom does it fry my eyes.

I've had 50% on my front windshield of other vehicles, but not an F-body yet... the only thing that keeps me from doing it is if I ever decided to remove it, it'd be a biatch to get the glue off.....hell, I hate just cleaning the windshield as it is!
