Check your state laws, I know in this area you are simply begging to be pulled over with a tinted windshield.

you don't need it...don't get it.

Plus that along with blue headlights just make for a terrible case if you happen to get into a wreck at night.

I always thought it was tinted a bit already
You'll get pulled over for front windshield tint. But if you are going to do front windshield tint, may I suggest limo tint? That way cars won't blind you anymore!!

Personally, I have very sensitive eyes when it comes to light and glare...always have. I would love to have my windshield tinted but would never do it due to the safety factor. So I keep my shades handy at all time. I'm sensitive enough that I'll put them on if it's a bright overcast. There doesn't even need to be sun for me to be uncomfortable. It sucks.

had my windshield tinted on my PDG cl-s...did it 35 percent with 20 percent on the rest of the car...it looks good, visibility isnt THAT much different, but it is noticeable...as others said, youre begging to get pulled over. i got pulled over for it once, and after a quick search of the car, the cop gave me a warning and i went on my way...i suggest if you do it, get your car inspected first, then go to a reputable dealer that can cut the tint around your stickers on the windshield...i wouldnt get it done on my current car tho, living in the philadelphia area, there is no reason to get these cops to feel like they're in danger...its bad enough they're dropping like flies now

I had my front windshield on my TL tinted @ 50%. It will make a difference and it will be harder to see at night. I would skip it. Tickets for tinting front windshields are pretty hefty.
