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 :ugh2:

On topic, 50% tint all around looks :yum: Look forward to pics :tup:

I was pulled over a few times in my old car for 50% tints on the sides. Not even gonna bother with tints on the Z. I drive a lot, which means more likelyhood of getting busted for tints. It just gets tiring after a while, especially when all that cash could be better spent.

....On a related note, I have cousins in the Philippines who tint their cars stupid dark all around (15%). It's pretty common over there because of the heat. I wish they'd apply some logic here in the US.

Yeah they took most of the day with the stereo. But the guy installs tint as well and told me to get the car inspected tommorow since my inspection stickers expires april of this year.This would be before installing the front tint Good idea!! Ill post the pics up tommorow morning when I get it installed.

The front windshield tint definitely pisses off cops much more than window tint ever did.

DAMMMMMMMNNNNNNN I like this to bad I am in Texas, I am sure if I would do this I would be targeted ever time.

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?

It's no problem just takes getting used to ..... I wouldn't suggest it on a DD but its awesome 90% of the time:happydance:

I had it done to my Tacoma. It protects your leather and dash from the UV rays and keeps the interior a few degrees cooler in the summer months. My a/c didnt have to work near as hard to get the temp down after work.

Things get pretty hot in FL. The 50% isn't very difficult at all to see though. You'd think it would be by looking at it from the outside but it's very, very visible.

I would rate the safety risk of a 15% side window higher than a 50% windshield, myself, as I would need to roll down the windows to back out of somewhere during the night. Pretty damn dark.

My first ticket in the Z was the windshield tint :mad:

For the people suggesting tinting the front windshield to keep it cooler in the summer (say in FL) who don't really mind getting tickets or who do have big cajones... why not do mirror tint like on WRC cars.
