-I know it's a illegal but my window are also.
-What would be the ideal percentage for doing the windshield.
-Right now I Have a straight 20%.
-To me it feels to light. I was thinking like 35% but I don't know if that would be to dark.

Here what the TSX look like now

The Photo Kind of blow but the were from my Blackberry

 

i don't know how you calculate it, but here in NY the lower the percentage the darker it gets, with that said 35% is lighter than 20%. followed by 5% which is limo black i don't think you want it that dark, if the 20% you have its ok i would leave it just as it is!

 

im sry i dont want to sound mean but that seems kinda stupid to tint ur windsheild. how well do u think u will see at night? and like djflex167 said 20% is darker that 35%. the smaller the number the darker it is.

 

The 20% is fine but the windshield is has no tint on it. I'm wanting to do 35% or some percentage of some sort on the windshield i just don't know how dark or how dark is to dark. Since my window are 20% around witch is fine but what would be an Ideal percent for the windshield.

 

i jus dont think it is a smart idea to tint the front window. but the lighter the better. cause the 20% will off set it and make the front look darker. on my car i had 5% in the rear windows and 70% in the front window and the front ones looked alot darker than they really were.

 

I Understand the smaller the percent the darker.

So the thing I've gave that thought and i have tried wearing sunglasses at night and i can see just fine, also i was half asleep when i tried this. Then in the day it gets bright as hell sometime and i can't even stand it with my sunglasses so that is one reason why.

Also I'm not fallowing your to about the percentages. So I have 20% around, then if I do 35% on the windshield then my window would equal 5%.

 

no it would not equal 5..it will jus look a little darker than 35%. its jus cause the 20% already makes the car darker inside. so when u tint the front it will jus seem darker.

 

So like on the image i have that you can see the windshield of my car does yours seem darker or lighter on the windshield because im going for darker in the front.

 

If i wanted to redo the tint what should i do if i want to go dark all the way around but make it look like the windshield is tinted.

 

in the 2nd pic the windshield looks tinted. but it jus looks like that cause it is overall darker inside the car. so it jus gives u the look of being darker.

 

Tinted windshield = cop magnet. As well as a bad idea in it's own right. What happens when the weather gets shitty? I'd highly advise against it. If you want to cut down the glare a bit just do a stripe along the top. 20% at the darkest.

And just for clarification, the % rating of tint is the amount of light it allows through. 5%, aka limo tint, only allows 5% of the visible light to pass through, blocking the other 95%.

 

I've heard of people putting a 70% metallic tint on the front windshield. This will cut the glare due to the metallic, but since it's only 70%, most people won't even know that they were even there. I've never tried this myself, so i can't say for sure, but i've heard it has been done.

 

 

Thanks bro for the info ill research more about that.

 

i would trust everyone else's judgement on this one. Why are you driving with sunglasses at night, while you are tired?!?!

in the end...dont try to tint the front windshield, instead, invest in some better sunglasses.

 

i Wun care if u stick a BLACK paper on your side windows. but why the front? =.=

+ 1 on invest in better sunglasses.. lol.

 

The reason i was wearing sunglasses was a test if i could see at night and being tired while driving was a perfect reason to try it out.

If you did not know sunglasses have a tint on them so the sunglasses would represent as a tinted windshield.

You should read the from the beginning of the form to see whats going on before making a bad quote. Also i have over $1000 in sunglasses so i think i have a above fair investment in that.

 

Well there are lots of reasons why.
-privacy
-harder to see inside
-when a f***ing redneck is driving his truck with like 4 kc lights on
-bright HIDs
and the big one

Well just like i told the other guy i have plenty of sunglasses. I just think it would look better since im a 19 also a minority driving a real nice car and were i live cops don't really care about tint and also there is a lot of people who hate on people like me.

Type of haters
-Your typical Republic (old white person who has not stepped of his own race)
-The people who hate the player not the game
-The ones who hate a Muslims (Since My I have special plates the has AFG meaning Afghan.
-I could write a book on the rest because of my ignorants(yes i know what this means and my knowledge of other people and races is extremely higher than your above average American

Also i have been doing a lot of research and there a guy who put 2 20% strips of tint on the windshield one the bottom and one on the top and i was thinking of doing that.

IM NOT TRYING TO MEAN IN THIS COMMENT OR BE RACIST IM STATING A FACT A VERY TRUE FACT.

And i Know this i can be Stupid sometime this is stupid so don't quote if you going to say im stupid just f off you dont have a solution for my form.

 

if your interior is black you might want to think about it, my brother owns a 2004 TL silver with black leather interior and he have 5% all around and 35% front windshield and believe me its dark like a b!tch! when raining at night its difficult to see and when its foggy as well! during a sunny day its ok but if i were you i would go for the higher percentage like a 70% or so!

 

i get OPs point of why you want to tint your front windshield but taking precaution is always the best. You might be able to see out with your sunglasses but then sometimes things you are unaware of can pop out in front of you and your dark windshield might slow down your response. I recommend going lightest tint if you really have to get tinted. That being said, when I was getting my windows tinted at my tint shop, this guy was getting his windshield tinted with 60% ceramics and it almost looked clear to me. My 2cents

 

Cool thanks for the info, i have gray leather interior so my plan find some who owns a TSX with a tinted windshield and see from there prospective.

 

Yeah i kind if know what im getting into know i thinking of doing a dark strip on the top or doing what you said go light thanks for the info

 

All the high horses and poorly written rants asides, it's still a dumb idea and your rationalization comes well short of overriding the laundry list of negatives that comes with doing this. It's your car and your life, you just better be damn sure you don't cause any problems for any one else.

 

+1 ^^
cant believe theres a thread about tinting ur front windsheild!
And congrats on having a $1000 worth of sunglasses.......
here's an idea. there's this thing called a "sun visor". use it.

 

a Old Man STFU if you don't have suggestion don't write any thing.

The form starts by me asking if it 35% is to dark so if you can't answer f off.

 

come on guys, this 19 year old really knows what he is doing!!!

 

Take it down a few notches or you'll be getting a vacation very soon.

 

Im sorry for being ignorant but i hate when people compare stupid things like laundry to cars and people.

 

you are an idiot.

 

A buddy read my 1st post then reply to the question i had if you can't answer that you should you know chillax. Maybe you should read the part were told one person many reasons i want my windshield tinted. If you don't where im coming from you never been in my position.

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE ANSWER THE FORM BY SAYING YES 35% IS TO DARK MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY A LIGHTER TINT OR GET DARKER WINDOWS.

I think Google would be more helpful then people like you oh wait i tried that and it is.

 

How does that make an idiot. Your the idiot because you not making a point. I told the truth about what i said so that makes an idiot if im an idiot you must be an retard.

 

OK, I think any tint on the windshield is too dark. Here's why.

I have 35% on the sides and back. On a sunny day, I can see out fine. At night, backing up is doable but I have to be careful.

So here will be your problem - if it's not dark enough on the front (like 35%), you may be tempted to wear sunglasses. The combination of the two would be a disaster. If I have my sunglasses on, and look out one of my tinted windows - it's DARK, even on a sunny day. I'd never want to drive like that. So then if you go darker - like 20% - maybe you don't need the shades on a nice day but you're screwed if it's overcast or night.

I've lived in Omaha for 5 years - you don't want to mess around with your visibility with all the weather you get in the fall/winter/spring. There is no functional benefit to tinting your window that offsets the safety risk you take.

My advice - take whatever money you were going to spend on tinting the front and invest in some nice ($100-150) sunglasses. I have some ~$120 Ray Bans that do a fantastic job - not only with glare but also filter for clarity (I see better with them in the fog, for instance). You're much better off with that investment (because the summers ARE warm and sunny) than making yourself more vunerable to an accident.

Last point - if you were ever at fault for a car accident, and you had that windshield tinted, I think you also expose yourself to all kinds of liability. What if you injure someone in an accident? It doesn't take a smart lawyer to see the safety hazzard on your windshield and come after you.

 

LOL!
dude, ur really not making any sense now in ur responses...
anywho, ur still an idiot to tint ur front windshield.

 

Does it even matter what answer people give you when you don't care to listen? You can do whatever you want with your car, but I have a feeling that something will end up bad if you continue with your current mindset. This thread is done here.
