32% front windshield tint and 8% everywhere else
#3
I think it looks good, but you would definitely get pulled over in my area.
I have "darker than legal" tint on mine, but the cops around here only seem to enforce it if you have what looks to be "limo" type dark tint.
I had tint on my front windshield (a really light one made for windshields) and I came to really hate it and it just had a distortion to it in certain light that made driving tiring. I eventually got a new windshield and didn't put tint on this time. Much happier without the windshield tint even though it does let in a bit more heat. I have heard that some brands like Huper Optic make a good windshield tint.

The tinted windshield makes it look really good from the front. Hope it doesn't cause any vision issues at night though. I had my G37S done like that but I didn't drive it much at night. Be safe!

I mean this with all do respect. I agree dark tint looks great but I think you should get rid of it while it is still soft and easy to remove. Once its been on a while its expensive and a night ware to scrape off. End up scratching you windows half the time. I just would hate to see you get a ticket when you can avoid it.

Be very cautious with window tints (especially illegal ones) and the fine print in your auto insurance coverage ... Insurance rates are based upon many variables, of course, and modifications that change the vehicle from stock that are not disclosed to the insurance co. can be the basis for coverage denial / coverage dispute, especially when the (illegal) modification may have been a contributing or direct cause of the accident. If there's an accident, you can expect the car to be impounded and tint tested.

Better than driving with your eyes closed...
A cop once made my friend scrape off his illegal tint right there on the side of the road. Good thing my friend had a razor blade handy. Good luck with that.

Thanks for the comments guys but luckily for me I have a prescription for window tint, and it's allowed to go all the way down to 10% all the way around and 35% front. They account for a 3%+\- in the tint percentage. Plus here's a few photos I just took on a cloudy rainy day for looking out the front and sides. Not hard to see at all. It's ceramic tint as well so the heat dissapation is insane.

Never had an accident in my life and have 20/15 vision. I'm a very alert driver and don't text and drive or anything. If you look at the above photo it's actually very easy to see out of, I'll post a night photo later. Plus I'm not young... Appreciate the comment but no need for hate.

A prescription for tint on the windshield... Please, share the name of your doctor so I (who suffers from Strabismus and has to wear glasses that basically magnify the sun's rays) can get that prescription as well...
In any case, it does look good, but man you is gonna have some splainin to do to the police every time you get stopped. BTW, I think your LS is the first one I've seen with rust on the door... What's up with that?? was that a deep scratch?

If you are a cop making a stop with all the crazies on the road do you want to have to guess how many people are in the car because of the tint?
Can someone share the maximum tinting on car windows? I would like to get my car windows tinted but want to do so legally.
