copperhead Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Anyone have experience with driving with tint on the windshield? I'm thinking about it, but I'm worried about night driving. Is it that big of a deal? FWIW I have 50% on the sides and back now, and wish I would have gone darker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeanGreen Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 It sucks, good fucking luck at night unless you're driving with a FLIR system mounted on your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 A buddy of mine had a very light tint on his windshield, I wouldn't even have noticed if he didn't tell me. He did say that it helped during the day and reduced headlight glare at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 not that it would matter but the only film you can legally apply to a windshield is 90% VLT. DOT restricts windshield tint to 70% VLT but most windshields already are tinted 80% VLT. A buddy and I did his Fox mustang a couple of years ago. We did it ourselves and used 50% I think. The issue wasn't so much the darkness as the old windshield had a "texture" from a million miles of rock strikes, sand blowing around, snow, road salt, grime, etc, and made visibility awful anytime a light was shining directly on it (like from headlights or driving into direct sunlight. but then again we aren't professionals.

Snowflake Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I have one of my cars windshield tinted at 50% and I have have no issues driving at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I had it on a previous car and hated it. It was rather dark though. You would probably be fine at night with something around 50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkside Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 All my cars have 50% on the windshield, can't drive without it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
