Don't go 35% for the windshield. My neighbor had his windshield at 35%, and he totaled his Corvette driving one night due to poor visibility. My brother has 50% on his windshield with 35% on all the other windows....it looks pretty good.

I have "LIMO TINT" on all windows except the front windshield If you're young and have perfect vision, its fine.
I'm usually watching out for cops, so that i can roll down my two front windows and act oblivious that he's even next to me. LOL
People really get jealous of my "LIMO TINT" when they are in my car and see how it really blocks on the cali sun, to where it doesn't burn there freaken arm, like it does in there car. (YEAH YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT)

I have 5% all around including a strip in the front (8 inches I think). I'm not sure how I feel about the front strip on this car. So either leave it alone or do the whole windshield.
I think 35% is too much for the windshield at night. Go 50% or lighter. Your age gives you good eyesight but you're still an inexperienced driver at this point. I'm sure you're a good driver but don't put yourself in a dangerous situation.

I'm not trying to come off mean here, but you don't know me or my driving habits/history to make that assumption. True, if i said i was 16 and just got my drivers license. Sorry to throw you off, i still think 27 is young. LOL
If i were old, squint or wear glasses, i would definitely not get the limo tint, and endanger my life and/or others.

Isn't the OP 19 years old? If you are 27, then what I wrote doesn't apply.
I did say I'm sure the 19 year old is a good driver, but if he just started at 16 or 17 then technically he is inexperienced.

Although I genuinely appreciate that implication that I'm a careless driver, in actuality, my IS 250 was hit head-on by a vehicle which did not have right of way.

Hey guys.. so im used to usually having 5% tint on all windows except none on the windshield..
but my IS350 came with 35% all around.. except the windshield.. im thinking of putting 35% on the front.. to make the overall tint appear much darker since all that light wont be let in through the front.
Do you guys think that it would be dangerous to put a 35% on the front? Should I just do 50% on the windshield??
I am 19 with 20/10 eye sight so I might be ok.. vs an older person with bad eye sight yano??
I have 6000k low beams with oem yellow fogs.. so i have pretty good light output
