Im thinking of going with 50 or 60%. It will have the look and will cut down the heat.

If you go with 50% will it be very noticable?

30% would be a bit much for the front. It's like BEGGING for a ticket.

Even with my 50%, I feel it's a bit much already.

Here is 50% Ceramic Tint

assuming you already know tinting the windshield is illegal i suggest only going 50% on the windshield at most..anything more would be kinda dangerous..my tint on the sides makes it hard for me to even see islands on the road...

i have 50% solargard charcoal on my front windsheild. my old prelude had
32%. i suggest going with the 50%. just keep in mind if you go darker than 50% your headlights wont reflect as much light against objects making it harder to drive at night. i think the 50% is perfect since it cuts alot of the glare during the day.
