I seriously doubt you'll get an answer. That post is from 2011 and the user last logged into the forum in 2015.

My 350 and now 370 run 50% front tint coupled with 15% on the sides. It cuts down on heat quite a bit but the forward visibility is absolutely fine. I can take some pictures if you need from inside/outside, OP.

Would you believe reading the thread would have found the answers you wanted?

Is 50% gonna bother me driving?? At night maybe?

What is the reason you want to tint the windshield? For looks or for heat/UV rejection or both?

If it's more for heat/UV rejection then go with a 70% ceramic tint. Should have very little issues.

Why do you want to tint the windshield? Is it for appearance or function?

There are a few options (ceramic and some new 3M stuff) that are basically clear, but will block out a LOT of the heat that enters from the sun.

Maybe look into one of those?

For myself I personally like the slight privacy but importantly the bright light and heat reduction. Definitely need to have a quality shop to it though.

Hey guys i did my tint and decided not to do front. I was going for function not for looks. The tint guy didnt recomende 50. So i asked 70 or 80 but he didnt carry so i didnt do it.
Ill post tint on sticky thread this weekend.

baldie · 02-23-2011, 07:14 PM

well if you can still do it, i'd say go for it.
here's how mine looks

dcrew1x · 02-24-2011, 07:57 PM

if it's not for looks, i'd say go for a 5% visor strip to block UV rays and bright light. That way you still have most of the windshield unobstructed in any way by tint, especially at night.

Good job OP didn't tint the front windshield.
