Where are you putting your radar detector?

I was planning on tinting my front to 50%. Has anyone experienced problems with radar detection using light tint in the front?

Very interested in seeing installation pics. Who is going to be first?

I have 55% tint on my windshield and never considered this. Could my tint be preventing my radar detector from working at its full potential?

It depends on tint. I have Ceramic in all my cars (except my daily beater, but it still seems to do fine through the rear glass, although I can't compare detection distance.), which has no effect on a radar detector except regarding laser detection, but if you detect laser, you're done, anyway unless you are actively jamming.

I always recommend people pony up and pay for Huper Optik or Pinnacle F1. You need to use Pinnacle on curvy glass, might get away with Huper on flat glass like in the 370Z. I just use Pinnacle on everything.
