This is my daily and I don't have any problems seeing at night.

Not a great pic but it was the best one i could find that shows the front tint

Thats perfect man thanks, u got any side pics, i wanna see how much darker the 35%looks on the sides with the front tinted. That actually looks really good imo, its not that dark on the front. thanks again!

I Have 30% on the windshield with 5% on the rest of the car. And it is dark to see in so every cop notices you. I had a friend in Florida who had a white on tan GS. He had 30% on his windshield and got busted for it twice both within a couple of days of getting it done since it stood out so much on white. Then he got 50% and has not gotten any tickets so for. Thanks Greg...

You can add the UV version to it... it's extra protection for you. It's also 70%. Yes, I know ours is UV coated...another layer won't hurt.

Only side pic i have... It's not a good pic of the tint because of the overcast made everything really reflective

I didn't do the windshield initially. When I did, it definately made the sides significantly darker, not as dark as 20%.. and light enough where cops can still see your face.

I've had this for about 3 years (60k miles) in MD and never had any trouble with cops.

Yeah, I used to have 20% tint on my Sentra and got pulled over within a month or two of having them. Frederick County has cops that have nothing better to do than crack down on tints.

I live in HoCo (clarksville area).. but I commute to Germantown everyday, so I mostly drive in MoCo.

It seems other people do have some trouble seeing with the 35% . . I never have had any trouble... the only time I really have any trouble at all is if its pitch black out and raining.. but then again I have better than 20-20 vision. If you're really worried about it I would go with 50%. I personally will probably do 35% all around and 50% windshield on my next car.

If you are worried about cops, you can always let more light in through the sunroof so they can see you better.
