I love it to be honest, 50% is very, very light even with windows up and moonroof closed you can't tell that is tinted unless like you said someone has their windshield tinted as well but it does the job. As for driving, it's my first night since a very long time with tinted windshield and I'm pretty tired today, had no problems at all, visibility is great, no difference compared to not tinted windshield but it does the job, people with hids don't bother me, I went out to abandoned airport, there's no lights, it's like you enter a black hole, I can see pretty well without hibeams or fog lights, definitely happy with this!

Pretty visible is pretty vague. Then again, not much is to be expected of someone who puts 6000K HID bulbs in fog lights.

i don't get why you're hating, if you drive smart you'll be good, if you drive as some dumb mf, then it doesnt matter if youre tinted or not, if you have HIDs or not, if its a bicycle or Panamera, so yes then you gon learn today or tomorrow

If you're not contributing into the post and keep on simply hating then might as well do not reply.

Thank you for understanding!

It's not strictly enforced. I know a cop who lives around my corner and all three of his cars have tinted windows all the way around. Talking about corruption, huh! Vacaville cops are like that. And yes, I'm against tinting the windshield myself. Very dangerous. Saw a bozo ran into a snowbank on I-80 before. Clearly he (or she, or it) couldn't see where he (or she, or it) was going with those tinted windshield and front windows.

VERY nice! As I told you in a PM, when the wife backs ours down the driveway the only thing that I can make out is her knuckles on the steering wheel. Cutting half of the light coming in the huge front windshield makes an amazing difference in the overall look of the car. Love it!

Really? Here is a pic of my car, showing the difference between 35% in the driver's window and 50% in the front windshield... Not sure what was going on in the incident that you witnessed but I'm confident 50% tint wasn't a contributing factor.....

Excuse iPhone camera, it's not the best quality, my side window is rolled down, so there's a clear view vs 50%, there's no much difference, almost any of you look from inside the car, same goes at night time, it just cuts down all the glare from the lights outside, headlights, red lights etc. and makes it very comfortable to drive, no distortion, blurry vision whatsoever.
