Windshield tint-who's got it?

Narco · Dec 5, 2009

I had a Pathfinder that had a tinted windshield and I could see fine. It looked pretty dark. I wasn't going to tint the Tahoe's but sooooo much light gets in that thing that the 15% on the front windows looks too light.

Who has it done and how dark is it? Should I leave the "eyebrow" up top and tint over that if I do it or peel it off? any issues with night driving?

a buddy of mine with a massively-lifted silverado has a huge 4" strip up top, and an even bigger 6" strip on bottem. There's just a little slot to look through lol.

ive got a 6" brow now but dont want the "slot" look. i want to do the whole thing. i just want to know if i do how dark it should be and if i should remove the brow or tint over the top if it

This was a layer of 50% on the entire windshield, and both upper and lower 5% brows.

Narco · Dec 5, 2009

any trouble seeing out of it? how many inches was your brow?

i have my windshield done. I cant remember how dark it is but its DARK. To the point were its hard to see at night. Its hard to see in the truck during the day. Lets put it that way.

Narco · Dec 5, 2009

dont want it THAT dark!

Young28 · Dec 5, 2009

ill put it to you another way also. I dont have hids but before the truck comes out of the shop again it will have highs/lows/fogs lol.

Mines dark too but I don't remember what %

Anyone have any issues with being pulled over for it?

titanium02 · Dec 5, 2009

i'd imagine the cops don't like it....

Narco · Dec 5, 2009

i never got stopped in the nissan. i imagine that with the rims, blacked out tails, and windshield tint its only a matter of time

I want 35% with an upper brow at the as1 line so the po leaves me the **** alone. 5% on the other windows makes it dangerous and inconvenient at night but it's so ******* nice during the day (we have 300+ days of sun). I think the variance between no front tint and ridiculous side window tint is whats causing the issue, I need a new 'shield first tho

I would tint over the top brow. That way it'll look a little less obvious the entire window is tinted. I personally wouldn't go darker than 50%.

I thought about it, but since the windscreen is polarized and IR blocked, I really didn't see much point in it.

DDUB · Dec 6, 2009

i would go 50% ive had 35% on an cops can spot it... it looks way better with 35% but any tinting of the whole windshield is highly illegal an u will get ah ticket.. if your gonna do it go 50% less hassle with the cops.. its almost like its not even there lol..

Eagle · Dec 6, 2009

isn;t it already 85% from the factory?

Narco · Dec 6, 2009

it'd be purely for looks. i wanna say that factory glass meters at 72%

Sup guys? New member here. I am also a member over at Cadillac Owners but I can definitely connect with some guys over here, I saw this thread and knew I was in the right place. Lol I currently have 50% and 5% everywhere else. I like it with the 50 but in all honesty I wish I had gone 30. I've been pulled over once and the cop asked if it was tinted....I told him no and he looked right up on it and he couldn't tell that it was tinted so he let it go. That would NEVER happen with 30.

I can't wait till i go thru inspection in feb so I can't tint mine...I plan on getting 50% on the windshield
