I gotta buddy with 5 over 5 all the way around and 15 on the windshield on a 2000 extended cab Tacoma and has never been pulled for tint. He's been pulled like 5 times since he's had it and nobody seems to notice or care ...bit he also hasn't been pulled by fhp yet...haha I avoid fhp at all costs as they are the only ones that seem to care.

pics didnt work. and yes i think he meant that he had 15 percent on his whole winshield. that would be a great setup if you didnt drive at night any, or if you did you did it in a well lit city. it think no amount of HID headlights and driving lights could get anyone around safely where i live with 15 percent at night. i have a friend with 35 on his whole winshield and we all think hes an idiot.

i just cant imagine having 15% on my windshield. once my retrofit gets done, ill buy new a windshield since mine has a few chips in it and it'll get tinted 30%

mines already 50%. he said do you want to do 50 and be safe with the cops, or do 30 and come back every other week.. but my sides are basically 1.75% and my back window is a touch darker so 50 makes it look great and i can still see at night but with retrofit hids im going to do 30 and shot gun it(brow on top and bottom)
