Did you like how 4th gear felt in my car? I mean, since you drove it and know what your talking about you could answer all my other questions...right?

Honestly, I see no point in the windshield beyond the brow. The rest of it seems fine to me.

Why a V8 when a smart car will get you from point A to B?

I can see you are starting to get a little defensive. Just keep in mind that most states ban tint like this for safety reasons. In Ontario, Canada you wouldn't stand a chance. The first cop that would see you would pull you over and have you peel the tint off on the spot. You also have to remember you are on a forum where the majority of members have a low tolerance when it comes to stuff that is not safe (ie: street racing). Obviously you may think you can see with no issues but it wouldn't be hard to prove you wrong. I have 5% tint on my rear window and 1 layer of 20% on the side windows and know just how hard that makes it to see everything at night.. You might think you can see EVERYTHING just fine but most people would disagree with you so don't expect to receive all positive comments. Sort of like those that have headlight covers and tail light covers. Manufacturers state they are for off-road use only for a reason. Don't get me wrong, I think it looks awesome. I just wouldn't want someone driving on the city streets at night with something like that.

I think it looks pretty good especially if it were just a show car. My tinter owned a Cadillac with tinted windshield and let me check it out. I didn't feel like I would be as safe driving around with it so passed when he pitched it to me. I figured he was just trying to make more money off me anyway.

If people post an intelligent COMPLAINT, like you have I am fine with. When someone tells me "dumb" and thats it with no clue what they are talking about then I answer peolple the same way back..with a dumb un-intelligent answer.

Also, side tint is a bit different, you don't have headlights point out of your back/side windows.

But thanks for taking the time to form a logical statement.

I dont have to drive your car to know how poor the visibility out would be at night....

Your light transmission through your windows is less than that through my dark tinted sunglasses....Which for curiosity sake I put on and tried to see through my windows,at night,sitting in a parking lot...
