Windsheild tinting

Ive been thinking about doing this for a while now. Ive had 5% on the windows since the truck was new, but it always seemed lighter since the truck has the light charcoal interior and a LARGE windsheild. Anyways, I saw a harley davidson f150 driving thru my hood yesterday with the windsheild tinted and DAMN did it look clean.... so I called up the shop and am having it put on tomorrow morning first thing. Anyone else done it on here? Hows visibility? Pics?

Steve

PS pics tomorrow for sure

All my trucks have had tinted windshields. To me 35% is perfect.

i have 15% all the way around, visability is like driving with sunglasses on. I almost feel as if i can see better not haveing the glare from everything. Its illegal, but only if caught. PLus its a non moving violation so they have to pull you over for something else first. I've never had any issue on any of the past three vechiles living in florida.

I would like to do this but little worried about the inspection and tags what do you do when you go to get inspection? I can just see the guy with the razer blade ! I have not posted much hope this is the right way

Here are some pics of 35% tint on windsheild with 5% on front and over factory 18% on the green truck and on my Black truck it has 35% on the windsheild with double 20% (the limo tint at my installer didnt match the color of my rear windows) on the 2 front doors with 20% over factory on rear.
Makes driving in the day 10 times better, night isnt much noticable (specialy having HID), Tickets here in FL are 74.50 and are non-moving. (no points)
