Looks good but I could not deal with that darkness and driving it. As long as you are happy.....that is what counts. Glad he fixed his screw up...

It really isnt THAT bad to drive with, the sides arnt much worse then 20% and the windshield goes un-noticed. But thats the beauty of it, we can all make them our own and love them the same lol

isnt it illegal for anyone other than cops to tint their windshield in every state? Just wondering.

It does look really good with the black hough

100% illegal, but I am willing to deal with any issues. But in Delaware as long as your not doing something wrong or in a place you shouldn't be they are very giving on the tint.

Well, that and that you don't kill anybody because you couldn't see them at night, like a kid cutting across the street who didn't look first, as kids often forget to do.. Double 5%? really?

You would last about 5 minutes in California with that tint.

Dark tint sucks on rainy days and and during the night ... Can't see out and feels almost claustrophobic .

Looks good but practical, not at all. You won't see anything at night unless your windows are rolled down. If it is raining you might as well just leave it parked in the garage.

First, aside from legality it looks awesome.

Second, I would be concerned with tinting the windshield. That glass is made to break away should anything hit it (your head for example) and god forbid anything happen I think the tint would prevent that. Your head would be crushed like a grape.

I guess it begs the question, is it a DD?

And I hope the old guy next to me that is legally blind sees him also, I hope that the guy leaving the bar drunk beeps so the kid can see him....

Point being, if you havent driven the car maybe you should try it before you talk about what you think its like?

And yes, 2 layers of 5%

Well, I'm not your mother so I'm not going to hassle you about it. I hope for the best. It does look amazing though. Kinda like a stealth fighter!

To each his own, but I couldn't drive like that. I'd be so paranoid about not seeing someone or another car that it would make me crazy.
