I have done the search already... I have seen that there are a few people on here that have there windshields completely tinted, but all the ones ive see were coupes. I want to know if any one has pics of a vert or has a vert with a tinted windshield. I want to know you guys take on what its like driving with the top down. I would prefer to see 99-04 mustangs, but any make and model vert will be fine.

I had a tinted windshield on my daily driver (took it offa week ago, just because I was bored... will be putting it back on soon) 15% all around, 20% on the windshield, strangely it was easier to see at night because there was no variation for my eyes to adjust to at night from looking out of the side vs the front.

Im think of doing my vert 5% on the side with 20 upfront, but i want to know if top down at night driving will be near impossible because the light coming from the outside

I did a google search and found this... this is more of what im talking about below.....ive had 35% on my windshield (not vert) at one time and took it off because it wasnt dark enough... so i know Ford Fanatic at night, your tint is virtually invisble....

35%... I meant to go 20% like my DD but forgot which percent I had...
5% all around
Here is my DD with 5% on front two windows, 2% on the rest and 20% on whole windshield:

While windshield tint looks sick, it is a safety hazard. I don't like it,

35% is best for day/night driving. 20% looks best and is best for day time driving only but is fine at night if you have projectors/HID lighting. Just get quality tint and you will be fine with whichever you choose, better have your PBA card ready. Officers notice the windshield tint and DO NOT like it.

I have 15% all around with 35% on the windshield. It is perfect for a daily driver. You can see all around at night. Yet it cuts heat and glare out during the day. And at night just cuts some glare out without making it hard to see at all. I have a dark driveway and can back out at night without putting the windows down.
