Default is your windshield tinted?

if you want to tell me how stupid it is to tint a windshield, please dont post in this thread.

in the few meets ive been to since ive moved back to this state ive seen quite a few cars with tinted windshields. so, im wondering how many people here have a tinted windshield?

on my last ride (suburban) i had 5% all around tint strip and 30% over the rest of the windshield. when i got my tC i did 5% all around and 30% over the whole windshield with no strip. i got a ticket for that, in arkansas and removed it because i thought they were going to inspect it. had i known i was just going to pay the fine with no inspection i wouldnt have removed it. so now i have a 5% strip on the front and cant decide if i want to do the 20% again which only last 3 weeks or the 30% which made it 3 years...

what are yall rockin?

well it is illegal here to, but so are my yellow light (i think) but cops aren't really getting people on tint anymore, if i were to tint mine, it would be barely like 90% but then again, for racing i need as much viewable light as possible

My factory tint is decently dark.

I'd do 15% all around, and 40% on the windshield on a car without tint.

Factory is good enough for me. I like for other drivers to be able to see me and get an idea of what I'm thinking.

I'm looking to do the Blue tint ( Like a Benz) all around including the windshield. It will be a very light tint though, so it won't effect my vision.

I always thought that it was the glass that came like that.

Yes they still are.. Just not as often as people think they are. They carry with them a tint reader that reads the percentage of tint on your vehicle...

I believe its 20% for the front windows and 15% for the back windows are legal. I have it written on a ticket here somewhere in the house..
