See I have found that page that you found through Google as well but then I found more stuff and the tint guy I’m gonna go to says you can do the windshield here. I think I’m probably just going to do a strip at the top anyway I don’t want to do the full windshield just a matter of how far down is everybody doing 5 inches?

So @RonSwanson can i assume you would agree that 50% in your opinion could impair my vision? I was thinking as you as just using the sunshade when I park, and I mean i spent the money on polarized ray-bans for a reason…..
I already find rainy conditions hard to see in as well as at night so that’s why the concern.
Thinking that @BaseOrBust ’s window strip might be the way for me too.
Need to apply some rain-x my dude...once you hit 40+ the water rolls off. Half the time in a normal rain I don't even use wipers?
Wipe on, let it haze, microfiber cloth it off (my dad gets full credit for this one)

Yea tint laws in texas were weird until recently you could pass inspection with 20% on front windows... but could pull out of the inspection and get a ticket bc below 25% was against the law? ... hahaha

As for the strup at the top ... if you look at the windshield in the top corners there is an a with an arrow ... mine goes down to the line there..

My very first upgrade was tinting the driver and passenger windows to match the other windows. Makes it look better not to mention the blinding sunlight that it cuts down on.

I’ve got an appointment for july 31 passenger and driver side and they have a uv clear(ish) film they tell me that cuts down the heat and uv rays coming in the windshield. Anyone ever get that? Solves the visibility concerns I had.

It's probably the stuff I mentioned earlier in the thread. It won't pass a legal test, even though it's clear or basically clear. It's probably 90-99% film they'll put on. You'll get those holos if you use polarized lenses to look through it, but it won't cut visibility significantly.

You can get clear/almost clear film that will filter UV too, but many states only let you have a band or nothing at all, even though clear means no tint. There's technically correct and legally correct and they aren't the same.

Alright the tint is done and I am pleased. IMO looks like a Hitmans Bronco. Decided to go ahead and do the 20% on the front windows and I got a 75% ceramic coating on the windshield. (Laws be damned, You’ll never take me alive G man!)

Llumar Ceramic CTX 5% back doors, windows, and liftgate. Front doors 25 %. It's a cloudy day, so not as dark when the sun is out. I can see clearly at night and keeps lots of heat out as I live in Southern California.

Here in the tropics, where you're 3 feet from the Sun year round, the clear windshield tint is a must. Mine filters out 70% of the heat and 97% of the UV. No window shades required anymore.
