Max, here's a 20% tint. I've never had problems with it and they're easy to see out of-even at night. Plus, these 20% tints are darker than the 30% you're considering.



Do a search on Acurazine too. You'll see others who have 30% tints. Don't worry about fogging either.

I thought that tinting your front windshield was illegal? Correct me if i'm wrong.

Ooooo....I would not recommend doing your windshield. You're really asking for trouble.

i did my windshield. do not do 30%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did 24% all around, and 12% (or was it 10%?????) on the front so my dash would not crack from UV rays. If u do anything higher, u will get pulled over. my advise if you are going to do it, GO LOW % and you will be fine. Also some places ask for a medical slip saying you need the tint for your eyes blah blah blah.

If you just want less sun and glare in your face, ask tint shops if they offer LLumar tint. You could get a nice bluish hue like MB windows.

It does look great.....it also looks illegal. I'd be nervous about getting pulled over all the time.

I think 35% on all the windows and 50% on the front is the best look. My buddy has that on his TSX. You can see out at night just fine. Also depends on what color interior you have as well as far as being able to see in. He has black interior and you can just see a silhouette of a person during the day. Cops don't hassle him at all
