I've worked on/driven several cars with the front windshields tinted and I honestly didn't even know they were until I got out of the car. I'm sure they were around 35% or lighter but I liked it a lot.

When all the other windows are tinted, you really cant see a 50 or a 35. I think it would be great. I love how tint gets rid of glare, and I want to get my front window tinted maybe 50 someday!

I had mine done 35% for a couple of years. Had to cut around the inspection sticker to remove it. Had the new sticker placed in exactly the same spot. The next year I cut the tint a little taking off the inspection sticker. Over the next few months it got worse and worse. I ended up taking it off. It was no big deal, even at night. Now I've got 5% on the back and sides with no tint on the front.
