Incidentally, I just got mine tinted today.

 

Here's stock.

And here is the after shots. Got 15% on the fronts, 35% on the rears, and 45% on the windshield.

I know each state is different on enforcing tint, but I highly recommend getting any percentage on the windshield you feel comfortable with. Even 70-80% helps a lot with cooling.

 

I was thinking that pure UV blocking film was allowed on windshields now, but I cant seem to find the specific DOT regulation.

I'm in KY as-well, they don't seem to give a shit about window tint around here. Back in AZ they write fix-it tickets left and right for it.

I have ceramic 70% on windshield and 5% strip at top. Pic is in shade so it looks darker than it is.8dc697200241db75ab2db90961eb8859.jpg

Mine goes to the tint shop Tuesday. Limo black back light. 35% side windows. 90% front. All UV A/B-Infrared ceramic block. No visor. Heat management is the goal plus making, I hope, my rearview mirror useable at night. I now see a perfect reflection of my dash in the night position of the rearview mirror.

What are you guys getting charged just for tinting the top of the windshield? Might do that next

At first I had my front 2 windows and the windshield brow done for $100. A few weeks later I had to replace the windshield and the same shop only charged $35 to do just the brow. Not sure if it would be close to that where you live because on 1 side of their sign it said tint sale. Not sure if they really were having a sale on tint or if that was just a way to get people to go to them for tint.

Still unsure if I will do it or not. I don't know if the 70% will be noticeable but the heat reduction would be nice. I'd like to see it if you do it first also.

Mine is 70% from the factory. It definitely helps. I see your username is bayou allterrain. Do you live in Louisiana? I do and got pulled over by an over zealous state trooper absolutely tripping on the fact that my front window was factory tinted. He said he has never seen or heard of such. He took pictures of the factory sticker and my inspection sticker and said he was calling the dealership to ask why they put an inspection sticker on it with the front window tinted. It was a little on the ridiculous side. He didn't care about the fact that all rear windows are 5% or that my front side windows are 18%. He just kept going on and on about the fact that my front window was tinted and it was against the law in Louisiana and I had to pull it off. And did I know he could have me towed for that. I mean on and on. After about 20 minutes of making phone calls to his superiors I assume, and taking the pictures he said I needed to get it taken of, meaning pull it off. Didn't give a ticket though. On a side note. My bosses 2015 gmc has the factory tinted front window and his isn't even noticeable, to the point he's been driving it for over a year and had no idea it was even tinted, because he hasn't tinted any of the other windows aside from the factory tint that is.

Here it is now. 5% on front side windows and the factory rears have 35% on them.

Thinking about getting 70% on the windshield with a 5% brow. Just not sure about how bad it will be at night.

Here is mine with 5% rear, 18% front, and 70% factory windshield tint. Excuse the dirt. Spent all weekend clearing shooting lanes so it's filthy. post-162255-147430566467_thumb.jpgpost-162255-147430567697_thumb.jpgpost-162255-14743057813_thumb.jpg

I see your username is bayou allterrain. Do you live in Louisiana?

 

Yes I'm near Baton Rouge. You? I'm surprised they even noticed 70%. Did they pull you over for that or something else and just noticed it?

North Louisiana, around Monroe. Nope. He pulled me over for the windshield tint.
