Tinted Windshield Questions....
I have 5% on my hatch, 15% on my driver/passanger and 35% on my windshield. i would not suggest any darker then 35% on a windshield. i get kids everyonce in a while that want it and i sway them from it. although i did have a few basketball players bring some high dollar cars in that wanted limo all around and 15% on the windshield. Said Detroit pistons player said "i want some of that non yo business tint" so i wasn't going to argue....but otherwise i only like 35%...on my ram i have 35% on the windshield as well but it's the platinum film

no.. 50% is great to have because it greatly reduces glare of the sun, oncoming traffic at night. and its not too dark that you'll get a ticket right away. personally, i would love to have 35% or 50% on the windshield but cops are very strict around here and i cant roll down the windshield LOL

on the side windows. a buddy told me to try this.
when i get pulled over and the cop says" roll your window up so i can check it." i say this" no, it is in side my car, and i don't give you permission to search my car. so go get a warrent if you want the window up."
what you guys think. think it would work?

my dad has 10% on the sides and back of his 99 red corvette, he put 40% on the front windshield and you cant see in it at all. In daylight you can see perfect out of, and what I like the most is on a perfect sunny day the only thing somebody can see when driving in front of him is his hand on the steering wheel, very cool! havent driven it at night yet tho, so i don't know about that.
on my turbo 93 civic coupe ( i know guys dont flame but it makes power) i had 5% on everything, and 50% on the windshield, i loved it and i think it helped with glare, had a problem with a few cops, but i think cops hate the rice ( i dont have altezzas or a gay fart pipe, just a sohc vtec with an edelbrock turbo kit)
Im thinking of getting my trans am in sig tinted with the back and side windows 35 and do the windsheild 50..
I also had a buddy with an 06 rsx have platnum 18% on everything and 35 on the windshield, really does make the car look slick but you get the wrong cop and it would suck to have him take a look under your car and notice your long tubes with no cats and send you to inspection..

. I want to tint my windshield but could i get something in between 35 and 50%? 
Someone mentioned having vision issues if using polarized sunglasses...I wear polarized Oakleys whenever I'm driving during the day, would non-metalized tint not have this issue, or am I pretty much SOL?

BTW I have it set up to get the windshield tinted next week...before the GM Fest at Silver Springs.
(if you have a tinter that knows what they're doing) they will remove the miror, then just cut around the metal mount and lay the film and later reinstall the mirror. you will only see the little mount through the tint if they can cut a nice smooth line
if you get your car back and the tinter is an assclown, you will be able to tell by a cut mark running strait up from the mount where they cut the film so they could just plop it around the mirror.

I went with 35% on the front windshield and 5% all around. I was thinking that 35% would be too light and thought about going with the 20%, but keep in mind since the windshield is at an angle, it would look darker than it actually is. This is why the 35% on F-Body's look darker because of the viewing angle in my opinion. Here's some pics:
