When I first got my 370z I did 5% all around including the windshield. THAT was dumb and way too dark. But 5% with a 20% windshield is my sweet spot

[@fredbetan9117]

I am sorry. I don't understand 5% all around and 15% on the windshield. New car owner here. Please explain. Thank you.

[@Alex83418]

@fredbetan9117 The side and back windows were Tinited 5% (Dark tint). The window you look out of (Windshield) is tinted 20%(Little bit lighter but still dark)

[@wantsanewvehicle]

I get 20% all around with a 5% strip on the windshield - never had a full windshield tint but I've driven vehicles with full windshield tint (20%) and it was nice during the day. I wouldn't do it myself, though.

[@robme3660]

I like 70 on the windshield, 30s in the front, and 20s in the rear with a quality ceramic. I'm not a fan of reduced visibility on daily. That setup does look sick, though. .

[@carlyl3191]

I really really needed this video!!! I don't do much night driving, but when I had 5% I do recall to scared me, a lot. Thank you for reminding me I should only go as dark as 15%

[@e.balsamo6889]

Great Video Thank You, I am from South Florida i have a tint exemption which allows me to tint without restrictions. My car is 5% Nano Premium, Windshield is 15% nano. I upgrade the headlights to the brighties led i could find i still run high beam at night with fog lights, i have seen many times cops pull out when i pass they run my tag and soon they go around or turn back. As you said you cant see inside. I have had people people try to open my doors especially when parked in parking lots. I wait for people to try to open the door at that second i cracked the by window and my Geeman Shepherd 100lbs on guard and waiting alwaya does rhe trick. I also have the same setup on my older van i converted into a rv bed tc game system the works its amazing being able to pull into a walmart or where ever turn off the lights crawl into bed knowing pwople cant see in. Thats always a plus. And during the summer 100+ you can seriously tell a difference. I never feel rhe hest coming in which is great and jt helps the ac to work alot less.

[@KyleClimaco]

that's a solid set up! 15% windshield is definitely darker than what most people would dare to get, but it has it's benefits. People are crazy these days, so privacy goes a long way!

Just got 20% windshield with a 5% sunstrip, 15% front sides & 5% rears in XR Plus, it's amazing lol

yes but how is possible you can have 5% tint i live in Poland europe i have 35% and no tint windshield and cops pull me over and i lost always registration and i need make again car check after remove tint 35 is illegal, so what is a good method for 5%

[@DumbHashtag]

From what I been researching I just need dark side windows (20%) and semi dark windshield (35%)to make it look like the front is the same tint as the side windows. Correct me if I’m wrong 😭 ceramic not carbon

[@hc2777]

People never consider the number and size of windows, along with the interior color. More windows = more light so it looks lighter. I have 20 with a 35 windshield on a sedan with an espresso color interior. It looks much darker than the white interior with the same setup.

[@KyleClimaco]

yeah this is true, great points to consider. I've only had black interiors, but have worked on teslas with white interiors. it feels like the only way to get a blacked out look on those is to paint the windows lol

Me too! I got 20 on my windshield and im completely fine seeing at night. Dudes are such sissys when it comes to windshield tint, how have you been tho bro? Been pulled over yet? I personally have never been pulled over for it. Cops dont give a fuck in my area

[@michaellabriola656]

Looks dope. I put 15% on my windshield not too long ago. I had it removed a few days later because the "silvering" effect of the dot matrix looked especially bad with the dark tint. Clarity wise, no problems during the day but driving at night in the mountains with no street lights (I live in Colorado) is a bit dark and some might have an issue. Did you learn to live with the dot matrix issue or do you have a fix for it?

[@matta6298]

it goes away with time

dot matrix?

[@michaellabriola656]

@@carjockey2135 Most aftermarket market windshields have raised dot matrix. I just had my Volvo windshield replaced with factory glass and the dot matrix was not raised. It’s as if it’s painted into the glass. This makes for a proper tint job because the tint will lay flat against the glass.

[@cydollasigns]

I've enjoyed all of your tint vids and you helped me with the decision to tint my windshield. Currently, I have 20% all around and 50 on the windshield but want to darken the cabin without touching the sides. Would you suggest I get 40 on the windshield, 5 in my rear window, or both?

both fs, i think im changing my 15 all around bare windshield to 5 back 15 side 35 windshield

[@iprophecy6768]

To darken the cabin you need to do 20% on the windshield. Thats what i have and it turned my 20% sides into limo tint. But goddamn some of you dudes need to grow a pair!! Quit being a sweet little sissy, go as dark as you want on the windshield. It’s already illegal, so get what you want. Its no sense in taking a risk to only half ass it. Get 20%. Cops dont even notice that shit, youll be good.

@@justjojo1666 if you trust your ability to drive at night. do the 30%… I have 50% on my car now, and it’s only too light… until it’s dark out. trust me. unless you have bright headlights, you will struggle to see at night.

Lol even 50% windshield is ridiculous. I run 25% around and 70% for UV on the front. You don’t need more than that.

[@Lil_joey-fb3nn]

What’s even the point of that tho? Other people are going to be able to see in your car like you don’t even have tint. You can still see very very easily with 15% all around and 50% on the windshield. You get even see pretty well with 5% all around and 35% on the windshield. I just don’t see a point in going that light

[@TyGholston]

nah 50% is a little too light Imo. I have it now on my car… during the day (up close) it doesn’t even look tinted. to get the full aesthetic… 40% windshield. no darker than that.

Literally is not lol. From inside you can barely and i mean BARELY see a difference to outside. From the outside it looks kinda dark tho

[@iprophecy6768]

I got 20% on my windshield, super dark! I went all the way cause if im paying for it, and its already illegal. Im getting exactly what i want. And ive never been messed with by cops for it. Honestly the 20% on the shield is too clean looking, i will never go back to a normal windshield ever again. And i dont drive at night either. So im totally good. Although if i really had to, i can drive at night it isnt as dark as all the sissys say it is. But yeah man, makes my civic look like a fighter jet. Limo all around with the 20% windshield is the cleanest look possible. You could do this setup on a prius and it would make the prius look more expensive 😂. Like i said 20 on the shield, ill never go back! Idc

Hello I'm French, in your home in the USA the police don't stop your vehicle? We in France if our father breaks and stains, the police impound our vehicle!

[@e.balsamo6889]

Lol here in the USA normally police don't bother you as long as your insurance is valid. Most cops now are scared to their jobs.

[@iprophecy6768]

Yes here in the USA cops do pull you over for it, but it is rare. But if they do pull you over, they usually just give you a warning or a small fine to pay. Or they give a warning and ask you to remove it within 30 days. But no they dont impound your vehicle, that is ridiculous

Same here buddy! Never been pulled over either! I agree dudes are such sweet little sissys boys commenting like “should i do 35%??” Its like, its already illegal you Might as well pay for what you want.
