You guys who are putting the tint on the windshields does that not impair your vision at night? I would think any tint no matter what percent would?

No they don't tint it that dark. I've always wanted to tint my windshield

In florida all cops tint their cars so its the law. Tinted or die from skin cancer. Lol. Let a pro do it. Ask for the brand they are using in your car. There is only a couple of brands that will last for years. Do your research. Tell your wife to remove her diamonds before sit in your car. Those scratch your tints like butter.lol

+1 Ceramic is the way to go, really help keep temps down in the car.

35% all around. No worries at impairing vision at night. from what I've heard, once you get below 20% it can be a little problem.

But then most of them put on a tiny swimsuit and sit in the sun on the beach... Though understandably, beach sun is not the same as car sun. Beach sun free of cancer.

I have tinted my windows with 35%. I like it because I can see out of the side windows at night. I did the darker tints years ago, always gathered more attention from the LEO.

Get your tint done professionally. Make sure you buy a good window film. Personally, I always use 3M Automotive Window Film products. Specifically, 3M CS35 (Color Stable 35% TSER). Cost is about $250.

3M Color Stable technology uses a patented nano-carbon polyester. Allows for maximum heat rejection without the metal film layer which will interfere with radio/satellite signals.

- Patented 3M nano-carbon polyester technology provides excellent heat rejection combined with a tinted factory glass look.
- Glare reduction: window tint allows only 5% to 50% of the light into your car.
- I improves comfort: rejects up to 57% of the heat coming through your windows.
- No signal interference: Color Stable films are non-metallized.
- Interior protection: blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays to reduce fading of your car's interior.
- UV/Skin protection: provides SPF of up to 1000, a Skin Cancer Foundation recommended product.
- The name says it all: never turns purple, guaranteed for the life of the film.

Had mine tinted within a week of delivery. Used to live in Arizona, so a car with clear windows seems real weird to me - gotta have some tint!
