depends on where you live. i got 5% all around and a 5% visor strip and love it. took it a minute to get used to the strip. dont know about full tint on the windshield more than 35%. but then again it all depends where you live. i live in phoenix. it gets hella hot here. so it helps with the heat.

5% on your windshield in a daily driver is just dumb. You might see headlights at night but you wont see that kid come running out. Then explain the blacked out windshield to the cops and kids parents, not to mention Bubba your new cell mate. hahaha

Kids shouldn't be out in the street at night. The parents can explain why their child was unsupervised in the road. he'll some of y'all act like 5% is spray painted windows. I can see just fine. Don't even have to roll down my windows to back up. Immean seriously if dark tint is that much of a road hazard then WHY DOES EVERY COP IN TOWN HAVE 5 ON THE CRUISERS????

No darker than 50% on windshield.. i would do your windshield and a 5% eyebrow, and you will be amazed at how much that darkens your existing fronts..

my next door neighbor owns a tint shop. his SS trailblaser has 35 windshield and 5% all around over factory making it like 3 in the cargo.. and i cant ever tell if it is him or his wife driving... it is DARK.. he is getting ready to do 50 on my windshield to darken my 20% fronts..

his SS is hard to see the mirrors at night with 5 up front and a dark night..

You will be surprised how much tinted windshild will help even things out... and yes you get used to it after a while to an extent

Bruce, you have a good point. It's great having 5%.. had it on my nbs... until a state trooper pulled me over and gave me a field sobriety test... pulled me over because of the tint on my windows. Now I just match the back and yea it's not as dark and doesn't look as good, but now I don't have to worry about cops pulling me over. I do think it's dumb that it is illegal especially because every cop cruiser has 5% all the way around.
