I wouldn't do it; it doesn't make the car look any better, tinting the windshield itself is pretty expensive, plus it's pretty dangerous driving around with it at night.

I should also mention that it makes it blatently obvious you're breaking the law when you've got your windshield tinted.

Honestly, your windshield will look tinted with just the back/sides done because the overall level of light getting into your car is greatly reduced.

On my old hatch I used to have 3% all the way around and 30% on the windshield and it was nice during the day but at night I could not see **** so I took it off and put 50% and it was ok then.
