Rep Power: 0 Driving at night wont be a problem. This is my 4th car with this done. The cops on the other hand are ******. I have been pulled over twice for my side windows and havent got a ticket, yet.

Rep Power: 392 daaamn now thats gangsta.... i dont have enough ***** to get the front tinted cause you cant roll them down like the side ones. but i was thinking about getting the silver/metallic/mirror tint on the front so there's more of a glare but they still wont be able to tell its tinted cause its not dark, just more reflective.

IS 13% dark enough for someone to have a hard time seeing into the car at night time?

Rep Power: 0 I dont have a hard time seeing at all but I'm used to it. All my cars are tinted like this.
It did take awhile to get used to the first time I had it done but that was 3yrs ago.
This isnt even the darkest car I've had. I had a 99 S-10 that was 3% on all windows.

Rep Power: 0 That's kinda risky isn't it? I have 17% on all my windows except windshield and have a hard time seeing out of the sides at night. But I prefer the windsheild not tinted because I want to be able to see at least what's in front of my car in regular colors... that would bug me to see everything darker than it actually was... make sense?

Rep Power: 0 i had the equivalant of a 15% tint all the way around(not winsheild) and i had to take the front tints off. it was a big pain. every cop i passed would pull me over just to be an @$$. if you search the forum on tint you'll find a helpful thread that lists all the state laws on tint. i'm almost positive you're going to get harrassed on the windsheild tint.

Rep Power: 0 I promise you that it really its that tough to see at night. Its just like driving around with your sunglasses on.
35% is what is legal in my state. I think I'm a little darker.

Rep Power: 0 not to sound mean or anything, but that is just plain stupid, but to each his own. it looks nice, but I am not risking my safety for looks. I will keep my 15% on the sides and rear and keep it at that.

Rep Power: 0 I cant believe everybody thinking its hard to see out of. Almost all of my friends that have fixed up cars have their front windshield tinted. Hell I even see older people in my area with tinted windshields. I talked to my friend and he said he tints at least 1 or 2 windshields a week and most of them are older people.

Rep Power: 0 I don't know, it just seems risky to me. I know how hard it is for me to see out of my sides and back at night already. I can't imagine having the front done as well. hey, if it works for you, then cool. peace.
