Quick question about tint

I have an ssm tl with black interior and 32% tint (legal in georgia ) and was thinking about going darker. However, I'm now considering getting 50% on my windshield. Just wanted to get some of yalls opinions on whether to go darker with no windshield tint or just get the windshield tinted. Thanks to any and everyone who comments.

Tinting the windshield is illegal in almost every state I can think of. It's also a major safety hazard for night driving.

Don't do it.

Tinting the windshield makes it hard to see at night and even harder when its raining.. would advise against it.

I got 70% on my windshield, ppl say its won't be noticeable and no point. Tell you what, its noticeable! During the day, it blocks the sun to keep the interior cool and helps a little with glare. During the day, you can't see inside bc of the reflection. At night, it just blends in with the rest of the windows (35% side, 20% rear). No issues yet, although i have a week.

Take a look at cars with their windows tinted before deciding. Pictures don't do it any justice.
