I bet that looks pretty dam cool.... BUT your night visibility is seriously impaired. not trying to pee on your parade but hopefully it will never bite you like if a pedestrian steps out in front of you and you don't see them soon enough, or a deer, tree in the road, vehicle without brake lights that you didn't see soon enough, etc. is that legal for your state? I had 20% on my sides one time and it was tunnel vision at night. there were countless times when i was on my bike at night when i was kicking myself for having my tinted faceshield on.... back in the boonies though, with high threat of deer.

yeah, i would never tint more than just the top 5" of the windshield. i like to be able to see at night, especially on long dark roads that have no street lights.

definitly not legal in my state, and i kinda got used to it after having tint on everything i drove... it does make night time driving alittle bit harder, but im used to it, now if i took off all the tint, im sure i would be like wow, its so easy to drive, but hey... what are you going to do???? good point about the trees, deers, and people though...

no no. On the side windows and rear. 35% on the sides is the limit here. I can see fine out the windshield, but forget about seeing out the side windows when its dark out.

mine is the same way. 20% on the sides, 5% on the top 5" of the windshield. factory tint on the back.

it is hard to see in/out at night, but my windows are usually down anyway.

windshields are covered under insurance with a zero deducible in flor-i-duh.I would check with your insurance before paying for a new windshield.

FYI, the actual Virginia law § 46.2-1052 Virginia Window Tint Law

E. No film or darkening material may be applied on the windshield except to replace the sunshield in the uppermost area as installed by the manufacturer of the vehicle.

No problems so far in South Florida, and had it on for 2 1/2 years.
