Texas is only legal to the AS-1 line or 5 inches in length if no line from factory.

Also, you will be a huge target for the police, most are usually ok on low tint on the side windows but anything on the front they will go for you.

Also, my concern was for others, driving at night with front tint can be very dangerous. Been in cars, not driving, and could barely see much in front of the car that did not have its own light on it (i.e. a car).

As has been mentioned, it is most certainly not legal in Texas. Even side window tint is severely restricted at 25% max.
Wish I had your cojones, but I don't have the time or the money to bother being hassled by cops any more than I already do ![]() On topic, 50% tint all around looks ![]() ![]()

I have put 30% on all my windshields except for the 370z.
50% might be a little dark for you. Especially during the nighttime. Coming from a guy who has 5% all around.

50% here. No, it's not that bad. Yes, I'll be getting it again on every car I ever own. Luckily for me, it's legal. I personally wouldn't go any darker than 50%, especially if you get your sides something like 15% or lower.
The front windshield tint definitely pisses off cops much more than window tint ever did. ![]() |

Yeah, you can get a medical reason to make it legal. Otherwise this goes state by state, and is usually not legal for full windshield. Basically while you might think you can accept the risk, you're also making a risk decision for the other people around you whom you may also be impacting.
It does look really nice but definitely never, ever utter a single word of anger if you get pulled over for it. You've made the choice. ![]() By the by, a quick Google search can reveal a site that lists all the tint laws by state. I'd link it, but being an IT security guy, I'd prefer not to send people off to sites I can't say you should trust or not. ![]() Last edited by ElVee; 03-28-2013 at 02:40 PM. |

Im not sure why anyone would want to tint their windshield??? I like showing off my red leather interior..... The tint looks good, but can you really are good at night if your ripping down the back roads where there is no street lights?
