Window tint

Currently having my windows tinted. Wanted to get opinions on tinting the windshield. What do you guys think? Yay or nay? Why or why not?

That might be illegal in a some states, but it would reduce the light/heat in the car. If you want it go for it

I've had "the brow" on all my vehicles, but Texas has horrid heat issues in the summer and it helps.

I am sure others will disagree, but I would not tint the windshield. You are just asking for trouble by giving any cop a reason to pull you over. Get a good pair of sunglasses and a nice window shade (for when the car is parked). .

Entire windshield. I've never really been a fan of the brow.

I would do it unless your area is known for pulling over because it looks way better and I like being hidden

I did mine. Worth the risk of getting pulled over here in Vegas, it gets kinda hot.

Depends if it is legal in your state. In CA, only the back windows can be tinted.

You can actually get clear "tinting" for the front, that blocks UV and heat, its has a slight bluish color when done, but clear, and very legal. Check with your local tinting place for further information...
