i have 50% over my windshield and in my opinion its just right, not dark at all for night time driving but i rarely catch myself using sunglasses when i used to constantly wear them although they are needed when sun is directly at you, it mostly cuts down glare from just overall brightness and windshields reflecting the sun at you. i also have 30 over 5 on my sides and 5 over privacy on my back glass so i cant see anything to the sides or behind me at night but i LOVE it during the day time. lol if you would want i can shoot ya some pics of my 50% windshield..

back to the subject at hand, i really don't like brows/strips/you-name-it. i have considered doing it to the top AND bottom but i dont think it will good either. the ones that just barely have any curve at all look a lot better than the rainbow looking shapes most people run. i just prefer the overall clean look of my fully tinted windshield. i might do 30% on the whole thing when it comes time to replace the glass due to chips, but thats only because im young and my eyes are still good plus im really good friends with the guy who does my tint, so a 30 pack for the night and a redbull for the job leads to a good time and some custom tint work. lol

 

30 over 5 you mean you have 5 percent, then a layer of 30 over that on your side windows?

 

I can see just fine out my back window.At night when headlights are rite behind me it looks like 2 small candles in my mirror!

 

I love it! Driving around the Central Valley in the summer time its HOT, keeps the truck cool and the sun out of your face! 5% brow, sits about 3" below the as1 line. For the rest I had a layer of 15% put on all windows. Its perfect for my personal taste/needs.

 

The 90's are over...rip it off.

 

I will when you cut off your mullet!

 

looks good, i can see you want as much ac as possible on your side of the truck lol.

 

maybe my next step would be to go to an eye doctor and get a waiver to do my side windows to 20 percent. its already legal for me to tint the back as dark as i want, so maybe i should just slap another layer of 35 on the rear, and redo the front 2 side windows at 20 percent. then the front windows would match the strip, and the back would be a slight bit darker than the front (2 layers of 35 over the privacy glass)

hey tint guru's i have a question, what does 2 layers of 35 equate to? how do you do that math. my guess is 17 percent, i think thats 35 percent of 35, but im not sure thats right.

my friends got a mustang with 2 layers of 35 on it, and weve been trying to figure out what it is for a while now.

 

I usually get the strip on all of my vehicles, but I went a different route and got the whole windshield tinted 35% and I love it.

 

yes sir, you got it!

what about 30% over 5% ?? i suck at numbers..

having the whole thing done looks a lot better in my opinion. i love mine as well

 

35% of 35 = 12.25%

30 % of 5 = 1.75%

 

I'm going to get my windows tinted soon. I'm thinking stock on the back and 20% on the fronts (should match the stock tint pretty well).

Definitely want a strip on the windshield. Always had them on every vehicle. I am squinting in my new truck when the sun's out. Not sure how wide of a strip I want. I had a 12 inch strip on my old caprice, but the windshield was a lot taller.

I'll probably go at least a couple inches below the AS-1 line.

 

2 inches below the as1 line will cover the dot matrix stuff behind the rear view. i would probably just have the dot matrix stuff covered and then let it fall where it does over the as1 line

 

heck yeah. what about 5% over the factor which is about 20% unless im mistaken..

 

I have 5 all the way around, 30 on the windshield and a 5% strip and love it. Sure gets hot with a black truck in Florida and this makes a huge difference...even with the whole windshield done the strip is awesome. Plus you can't see the strip from outside so it looks really clean.
