John you saved me a couple hundred dollars cause I was racking my brain with wanting 35% on my windshield but thinking it was too dark and getting ready to settle on 50%. Thank you for saving me a headache, I'm going with the 35% for the windshield and 5% the rest this Thursday🙏 Your the real MVP!!!!!!
My guy.. great freaking video. Exactly what I'm looking for. I'm in the research phase to figure out what would work best for me. You helped me a ton. Appreciate you taking your time to create this!
Hey! Glad it helped and really appreciate the feedback on it! Once the weather clears I plan to make another one of these with my current vehicles since this one did so well!
Super late reply coming from someone with 20 percent..yea I know that's dark... And wanted to go 15 percent at one point... Grad in the daytime no matter how hot it's like huge glasses over the windshield itself🤣 still have my review up when I used to have it in my vehicle. So I recommend it.. honestly no.. unless your 110 percent your only driving during the day and never at night then go ahead... But if you know sometime down the road that well happen then don't do it. Well waste money on getting it applied then cost to remove it and reapply a lightly tint.. want the dark look but not really sacrifice your vision 35 percent.... And like I've said yes what am about to say well be more costly then normal average tint... Want more comfortable experience when driving or when it's traffic and sun is beaming.. get yourself some ceramic tint.. if you dislike the dark look go with 70% ceramic tint.. if you don't even want a haze look at all. But if you want a bit of the haze look removed from other drivers coming towards you get 50.... But 35 percent is perfect... to have the dark look from the outside and pretty clear from the inside.. "ceramic tint" for my area for ceramic 160 for 2 windows. 200 for just the rear. 175 for the windshield up front. Ceramic.. and for normal tint it's 140. And around 200 bucks to get your old tint totally removed.. at first I thought ceramic was more money wasted but it's not honestly.... Don't know where to start?? Big difference you well notice is your whole entire windshield in ceramic darker tint doesn't matter. As long as it's ceramic tint you well be happy. And the rear window. The sides can be 70% if you don't want darker windows at all.... Want a perfect tint set up. 35% all around including the windshield if you want a slightly dark look but still see during the night. And of course ceramic.. hope I helped you guys. From my point of view. If you want the pretty dark look like myself.. 35% windshield. 20% front doors. 5% back and rear. And currently just added 35% in the rear in ceramic.. and well be applying 50% ceramic on the windshield. And in the future have 35% on the doors and that's it. My perfect setup. Privacy day and night. Seen other go as far as 5% all the way around and 20- or 5 over that.. and just keep the windshield stock. Only apply 5% brow. To me that's to much..
Go for it... I had 20% back then loved it. Was dark. But nighttime was a nightmare. 35 is still great. Able to see daytime and night. Because with 50 only get a slight difference of tint. With 35 it's like actual haveing glasses on your windshield. Unable to till other looking right at you. But still able to see daytime and nighttime no problem...
Thank you! I do need to make an update video as the truck is the only vehicle I still have in the fleet. Had 3 additional vehicles that need to make the new video with different tint setups!
Reducing Infrared, UV and and heat exposure, diffusing road ragers who can't make eye contact with the driver, preventing junkies from seeing what valuables are in your car, and reducing the brightness of oncoming headlights at night. Really can't see any good reason for tint laws anymore. other than the classic talking point about "ofF1c3r sAfTey" (easily negated by rolling down the windows during a traffic stop)
The real reason there are tint laws is because when you get to a certain percentage, especially double layers, it’s extremely difficult to see at night/in the rain which obviously creates a safety hazard for you and other motorists/pedestrians. Before I got my first car with tint (5% windows/30% windshield) I too thought that tint laws were dumb, but now I completely understand why they exist. I still roll with illegal tint but again, it’s pretty obvious why there are laws restricting how dark you can go
@@natpeterson9735 Tint laws were written with the lowest common denominator of society in mind. Yes grandma who just got out of cataracs surgery may find night driving with limo tint impossible. However if you have 20/20 vision, then you will know that 30% tint on the windshield does not impair vision at night whatsoever.
I say this because I have 20/20 and get by fine at night with a high quality 20% tint on front windows and 30% windshield. Couldn't imagine dropping down to 5% for night driving lol
I prefer 50% Ceramic on my Windshields. I usually suggest that to my customers so they don't end up being to dark for them. Full Windshields are very popular these days. I did mine for the first time like 8 years ago or so. I don't even remember to be honest but every car since then has had a full windshield tinted.
Awesome comparison, I appreciate the well put together video! I have 5% sides/rear and 50% windshield on my current car but ordered a new ride today and plan on changing the windshield to 35%
exact same situation for me. I've always got either 5% or 15% on the sides/rear glass, and have always done 50% on the windshield. That changes to 35% windshield next time.
@@rcdesigns same and also to other dude, SAME! No more girl 50%. 35% or nothing windshield! Not that girls are derogatory but makes it sound cooler in the less woke world we lived in. 😉
5% (total, after application to factory stained glass) is okay for the rear and rear sides, but not great at night. 5% is too dark IMO for front sides, especially when combined with something light like 50% or higher on the windshield. Shih feels like all of the light is being directly funneled into your eyes. My fav is 15% rears, 25% front sides, and 50% windshield if I'm gonna do any driving at night. Otherwise, limo rears, 15% front sides, and 35% windshield for a daytime-only car that can make maybe an emergency night trip home. Sunroof no darker than 50% or you ain't seeing anything at night. Also, always at least ceramic, if not IR (which is like ceramic+). If you're worried about cops or can't get a medical exception, 35 front sides, 70 windshield, 25 rears. IR-70 is essentially clear since untinted glass meters at around 75% VLT and tint is rated based on application to clear glass. IR-70 is also the best for application to factory stained glass since that's usually around 15%-25%, and as such, won't change with the effectively clear 70% VLT of IR-70. If you really want the DARKEST tint, though, feel free to apply IR-5 to factory-stained glass. You'll get a legit 1% or less VLT that way.
Was there a lot of difference between the 50% tint on the windshield and 5% tint all around? Like could you tell the windshield was significantly less tinted than the rest of the vehicle? Also, what tint material did you go with?
I think I’m gonna get 50%, I drive at night/early morning a lot and have led headlights so it’ll be fine. Basically just want it to be dark enough so people can’t see who’s in the vehicle but not super dark.
Thanks man. My Q50 has a huge windshield and let’s in a lot of light. So I been thinking of doing this. I was scared I wouldn’t be able to see at night. This helps a lot!!!👍🏽. Respect from NC
Get 50 in cermic if youbjust want heat reducted by alot and get read of the uv rays hitting your skin. And like you seen on his video 35% great. And not go darker then 35%. Caple of seeing dueingthe day.but if you go darker then 35 vision at night well be reduced by 85 oercent. Went thru it. Never hut anyhing but you do habe trouble seeing at night. And i wear glasses..
@@jbxlitI got 45% on the windshield. I can definitely tell it’s on there in areas with few street lights but in city and facing oncoming cars it’s great. I use my high beams in rural areas and problem solved
My favorite combo is 30% windshield, 20% side and back (but if there’s factory put 30%) over that. Worth the $$$ for ceramic!! This combo is easy to see out of at all times of day/night
@@redciroc1211 yeah lol i just got 5 all aorund and 35 on the windsheild and honetly its fine to me at night, plus its cermaic. 35 is nothing, shoulda got 20, but im also in cali, i dont wanna stand out too much
I recently had my windshield tinted 35%, I had to go darker to 20% to get the same results he has on his truck. Reason being is I have tan interior. Interior always plays a factor in how dark a tint looks
do yhu think a light grey interior causes tint to look lighter too ? im stuck bc i wanna get 35% all round but idk how much the light grey interior would effect the darkness n shi.
Where I live, you can't even have your two front windows tinted at all. Windshield tint would get me pulled over on day 1 lol... I still tint my front windows though
I've had my windshield tinted on every car I've had, been some 20 years now. Before it would always be 50% as the lightest. Now there are a lot of good quality high heat rejecting 70% and even 90% for those who wants to keep it lowkey. I've always had 50% but the last couple of cars I've used 70% but I am going to be replacing it to 50% again. I wear glasses too and agree that the glare it block makes driving so much more comfortable.
This comment helps so much. I have glasses as well and have been debating 70% or 50%. Decided on 50% windshield and 35% on the rest of the windows so should help alot.
I’m currently at a shop getting 50% on the windshield Xpel. I also wear glasses and do night driving at times along with early morning driving. I hope it works out. I didn’t want to dark and the rest of my suv is 20% not to mention I have tan leather so it would make it lighter
Sir this video is awesome n excellent comparison i truly appreciate it. I just did my 2015 Ford escape windshield in 50% and Man. Via ur video 35 would be awesome. Maybe I’m crazy BUT 35 almost looks brighter in the video. Thanks again sir
I had 5% over 20%on all my windows except windshield, just had 20% on it full top to bottom. Literally the side windows were impossible to see in through even if you put your face up to the window and covered your eyes with your hands, still couldn’t see in.
I had that on my old truck. Looked cool cus it was impossible to see in even with a flashlight and night, but super dangerous at night worse when it was raining
@@brandonvedella6661 agreed, raining made it harder to see, and i found driving under street lights in residential areas where there are still big dark gaps on the road. in town it was find and in the country i had no issue at night, as your eyes adjust in the pitch black.
I got my windshield tinted at 15% that shit was dangerous as hell. I kept it through the summer but ripped it out as soon as it started to get dark at 4pm, I want to try again with 35%
@@thomasgladwin2975i need to see a video of you driving with that, because no way you drive that at night with an 8% windshield 😂, and im 100% someone who loves to go dark and STILL see, i have 5% front, 1% back and planning to get 35# for windshield tomorrow!
@@JulioLopez-xz5kxnot true im rocking morimoto xb leds, they have a stepped up cutoff, left side is lower for oncoming traffic and right side it highest for reading signs
20% all the way around on my Lexus. Just made an appt. for 50% windshield. I've got black interior, so 20% appears darker. 50% windshield should be nice/sleek. Thanks for review.
@@Relentless-zz1crhow's the windshield tint working out? im 5% all around 50% front xpel xr plus, im about to get either 20 or 30% on the windshield, how's 20 been working for you?
@@matta6298 I ended up getting 15% all around .. and 30% windshield it's perfect can't see me in the day .. but at night can get a lil dark .. I love it
Thanks to this video after several others, this one helped sink the deal. 247 for ceramic coated 50% in Kansas is what I'm doing. It's just looks good and I agree the privacy aspect and overall look is just sweet. Thanks for this vid
Thanks for video. Car much closer to ground so the lights look brighter on the road at night. I've always wanted to tint windshield because the sun and other vehicles headlights coming head on are really bright. This helps a lot!
I got double 20% on my two fronts and 5% all around the back. Plan on getting 35% on the front because you can still see in the car because of the front light comin in. Once I get that tinted I’ll be 100% blacked out 😈
Perfect combination by far is 5 all around and 50 windshield bcz when u close all windows people cant see u thro windshield but when u open all windows windshield look as if there is no tint on it which is perfect to avoid pulled over when u pass by cops
Def the truck has better leds compared to your ford, but the 50% is obviously going to be lighter. Thanks for sharing the comparison. I’m about to tint my windshield on my suv because the recent heat has been unbearable. I may go 50% but as for a tad higher because of night driving I do.
This is just what I needed because I have 5% window tint on my Crown Victoria and I plan on getting 35% tint on the front windshield after I get it replaced because it is cracked so this is a perfect demonstration of what I can expect, great content thanks bro for the video.
@@moahmedali1934 no I haven't done it, I had a setback and had to replace a few parts up under the hood but before the summer gets here I will get the new windshield tinted before I get it installed
@@krownvikkhris3004 do a video on it. becuase am not sure if ibwant to go with 50. all i want is privacy but still be able to see at night. am going to just risk and waste hella money . but since i got to cars ill do 50% in my car thats mostly for work. and that well decide for me. if i should go darker in my fancy car or go with exact tint.
I’m going to say 3 things nice and simple.1 I have bad eyesight especially at night! 2. I have 50% front windshield tint ceramic. 3. I love it and it it’s not bad at all even if u are driving in the middle of nowhere no other lights but ur cars lights it’s fine ,cops be hating but usually just tell me it’s illegal have actually done something about it and are more concerned about y I was driving 90mph or pissed about my purple fog lights 4th fix it ticket for them they really hate purple I guess . One question what F&$# is an inspection sticker? We don’t have that around here
Here in Augusta, Georgia I got 50% windshield. It’s nice, considering going 35.% but the tint places here warn you that the cops will to get you and make you peel it off so I am hesitant
That would be terrible! Lol I actually helped my disinter move to Georgia (about an hour south west of Atlanta) last year with the truck. Thankfully no one noticed then 🤣
35% better I have 50% on windshield right now I want go back too 35% people still see me Update: got 35% windshield 15 sides and 5% in back tried 5% in front sides its too dangerous its like black curtains. 15% is easy to see out.
@@MexicanSnicker i have 35% too and people still see me but i have problems seeing potholes when it rains at night. Not sure whether to go darker or not 🤣
I got 5% all around and 35% windshield for a year or more If you have good eyesight go with it but if you wear glasses go 45-50% windshield When it rains it feels a lot darker at night.
I wonder how 5% tint all around and a 50% windshield tint would look 🤔. I currently have a vehicle with 5% tint all around & the sun shade. I will post a video once I get this set up! Anyways, great video!
My corvette now has 5% rear, 12% sides, and 35% windshield. I keep meaning to remake this video with all the new vehicles but just haven’t gotten time recently. Soon!
I’m starting to see more tinted windshields around all of a sudden here in Alabama, last week I was in Jacksonville and I saw Trevor Lawrence at the intersection near the stadium, he had his windshield tinted dark but I was still able to see his long face and long hair as he drove by. I think it would be great for the day time but for me would probably be harder to see at night, especially since I live in a more rural area.
I live in MA and definitely see way more people getting their full windshields tinted especially on newer vehicles. I might bite the bullet after I get my inspection sticker
Obviously 35% tint on windshield looks better, but having 50% looks totally doable with no worry that a cop would write a fix-it ticket (I'm from California). Does anyone here have 35% or lower on their windshield who lives in CA? ever have any trouble with cops?
NOT TO BE OFF SUBJECT BUT WHAT’S THE WHEEL AND TIRE SETUP? DO YOU HAVE A LIFT OR A LEVELING KIT. I LOVE THE STANCE MAN IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, I JUST GOT A RAM REBEL BACK IN JUNE AND I REALLY WANT A STANCE LIKE YOURS.
That I’m not sure of.. it’s definitely getting pretty popular though. I do know that no dealerships will inspect your vehicle any longer with full windshield tint. Have to go to a small shop.
I've always done 5 all around and 15 front, maybe I just have really good eyesight because even at night I don't have any issues unless I'm on the backroads
Is the camera on manual? If not, it's adjusting for lighting so it's not really giving an accurate view of looking through the windshield for say, the Truck vs Ford (50 vs 20 or whatever it is).
so i have 5% tints on the rear half of the car but none on driver and passenger side, what % tints should i go for without being a cop magnet but also getting privacy?
Any recommendations for me my cars a 2007 so I have halogen lights that aren't as bright as modern LEDs, would 35% be too dark for night driving in that case? Or what do you think
I’d say so.. fast forward to today I bought a 99 corvette and did 35% on the windshield. It’s DARK AF at night! Like, I would not recommend lol. I only did 35% because I knew I would eventually get some fancy nice LED headlights built for the car and I have. They’re on their way thank Jesus!
@@reed510 I never claimed to be the first w3irdo 🤣🤣 and there might have been a few people doing it but nowhere near the amount today. It was nowhere near as popular as today.
@@Albo_AK nahhh gotta find someone cool. First time I did it I went into the places and asked them straight up whether or not they’d write a sticker with it before we wasted each other’s time.
I've got 15% all around with the rears having a light factory tint that the 15% went over top of so it's a little darker on the rear windows. I was waiting to do the windshield until i got it repaired. Well I'm getting the windshield done today and this video was very informative. I think I'm going with 35%. Thanks for the info!
@@vjc25 I ended up going with 35 on the windshield and love it. Any darker and I think it would be hard to drive at night, especially where I'm at without any street lights. The rest of the cabin is fairly dark so the 35 on the windshield is a perfect balance and still makes it hard to see through the windshield from the outside.
@@augusteclaiborne1778 I don’t tint my vehicles myself. I have a guy that handles all of my tinting needs. That’s one thing I believe that should be left to the pros. Not worth me trying to save $20 and having bubbles or having it turn colors a few years later.
@@JohnWargo93 Yea I had someone who does tint, tint mines as well with 20 on the sides and I believe 5% on the rear. Can’t remember. Got them all from Autozone and ready to put some on the front.
I need to make an update to this video with my current vehicles.. my corvette for one, we didn’t cut any inspection stickers out and it looks really good with 35%. But, on the daily whips I like to have the stickers in full view for any passing cops or anything. He leaves us the option on whether we want the stickers cut out or not. Depends on the vehicle for me!
@@JohnWargo93 Ahhh makes sense, here in Florida we don't have inspection stickers just parking stickers for apts, but I can definitely understand for visibility for something that important
Nice video! What about the light reflection from inside? Is lighter better to avoid reflections? I want to reduce the reflection on my car, and I was wondering what would be the best solution. Thank you!
@@JohnWargo93 My car has a heads-up display that projects vehicle information, such as speed, onto the windshield. This display is rectangular in shape and is located right behind the steering wheel. When I have the sun in front of me, the reflection of this display on the windshield appears right in front of my eyes. It is very bad. The problems started after I replaced the my windshield because cracked (the previous windshield was perfect, no reflection at all). I'm looking for a solution and I was wondering if the tints you are reviewing could solve this problem. I was considering installing a ceramic tint, but I'm not sure if it will be the right solution and I would like to have your opinion. Thank you so much!!
Thanks! I live in Florida, and most people have windshield tints. But I didn't know Pennsylvania allowed it? And if not, how do you manage getting inspections? I used to live in South Jersey, and that state doesn't allow people to do almost anything to their cars. Why I moved!
Great video. Helped me choose. Appreciate your post. Wife’s car will be full legal ceramic with the 50% windshield, 5% rears. My paid for (race car cop car Tahoe) whip will be 35% windshield and 5% all around with another 5% layer on rears and back. Bank owned “limited” Silverado RST daily work commuter across Houston and (runaway sentencing) already non ceramic dealer worthless tinted pickup… new ceramic layer added over my 2x 20%’ed fronts, and 5% rears. I have a perfect 5% brow already but nothing on windshield so will ceramic 35% it, too. Did that make sense?
My buddy on his truck has 5% all around and 15% on the windshield and that thing is DARK you can’t see in it but it isn’t bad looking out of. Just don’t drive it at night😂

@@Recon6hey did you end up doing 35%? I’m planning on my windshield tint and the only options at 35 or 50. I also live in Florida and I think 35 may be way too noticeable from the outside. Don’t wanna be harassed by cops.

I’m a fan of it personally because cops can see the stickers clearer so it looks less suspicious and also you don’t have to worry about scratching the tint trying to take the old stickers off to put new ones back on.

However if you have 20/20 vision, then you will know that 30% tint on the windshield does not impair vision at night whatsoever.
I say this because I have 20/20 and get by fine at night with a high quality 20% tint on front windows and 30% windshield.
Couldn't imagine dropping down to 5% for night driving lol
I prefer 50% Ceramic on my Windshields. I usually suggest that to my customers so they don't end up being to dark for them. Full Windshields are very popular these days. I did mine for the first time like 8 years ago or so. I don't even remember to be honest but every car since then has had a full windshield tinted.
Nice! So mandatory if you value probably
@@zekecowans7792 yes it helps to hide personal property as well. Good point.
Yes 50 percent is nice on the windshield
So you think a 5% all around should have a 50% windshield instead of 35%?
@@jwalkerftw I just got the 35 on my windshield it's beautiful u can see still
The driving at night comparison was so helpful. Thank you!
Awesome comparison, I appreciate the well put together video! I have 5% sides/rear and 50% windshield on my current car but ordered a new ride today and plan on changing the windshield to 35%
Thank you so much for the positive review!
exact same situation for me. I've always got either 5% or 15% on the sides/rear glass, and have always done 50% on the windshield. That changes to 35% windshield next time.
@@rcdesigns same and also to other dude, SAME! No more girl 50%. 35% or nothing windshield! Not that girls are derogatory but makes it sound cooler in the less woke world we lived in. 😉
5% (total, after application to factory stained glass) is okay for the rear and rear sides, but not great at night. 5% is too dark IMO for front sides, especially when combined with something light like 50% or higher on the windshield. Shih feels like all of the light is being directly funneled into your eyes. My fav is 15% rears, 25% front sides, and 50% windshield if I'm gonna do any driving at night. Otherwise, limo rears, 15% front sides, and 35% windshield for a daytime-only car that can make maybe an emergency night trip home.
Sunroof no darker than 50% or you ain't seeing anything at night. Also, always at least ceramic, if not IR (which is like ceramic+).
If you're worried about cops or can't get a medical exception, 35 front sides, 70 windshield, 25 rears. IR-70 is essentially clear since untinted glass meters at around 75% VLT and tint is rated based on application to clear glass. IR-70 is also the best for application to factory stained glass since that's usually around 15%-25%, and as such, won't change with the effectively clear 70% VLT of IR-70.
If you really want the DARKEST tint, though, feel free to apply IR-5 to factory-stained glass. You'll get a legit 1% or less VLT that way.
Was there a lot of difference between the 50% tint on the windshield and 5% tint all around? Like could you tell the windshield was significantly less tinted than the rest of the vehicle? Also, what tint material did you go with?
I think I’m gonna get 50%, I drive at night/early morning a lot and have led headlights so it’ll be fine. Basically just want it to be dark enough so people can’t see who’s in the vehicle but not super dark.
Yup, 50% is a safe # for a daily that what we have on the fusion. Truck doesn’t come out much so it’s okay being a little darker 😉
Thanks man. My Q50 has a huge windshield and let’s in a lot of light. So I been thinking of doing this. I was scared I wouldn’t be able to see at night. This helps a lot!!!👍🏽. Respect from NC
Get 50 in cermic if youbjust want heat reducted by alot and get read of the uv rays hitting your skin. And like you seen on his video 35% great. And not go darker then 35%. Caple of seeing dueingthe day.but if you go darker then 35 vision at night well be reduced by 85 oercent. Went thru it. Never hut anyhing but you do habe trouble seeing at night. And i wear glasses..
What did you get and how is it I got a q50 and need this too
@@jbxlitI got 45% on the windshield. I can definitely tell it’s on there in areas with few street lights but in city and facing oncoming cars it’s great. I use my high beams in rural areas and problem solved
My favorite combo is 30% windshield, 20% side and back (but if there’s factory put 30%) over that. Worth the $$$ for ceramic!! This combo is easy to see out of at all times of day/night

I recently had my windshield tinted 35%, I had to go darker to 20% to get the same results he has on his truck. Reason being is I have tan interior. Interior always plays a factor in how dark a tint looks

I've had my windshield tinted on every car I've had, been some 20 years now. Before it would always be 50% as the lightest. Now there are a lot of good quality high heat rejecting 70% and even 90% for those who wants to keep it lowkey. I've always had 50% but the last couple of cars I've used 70% but I am going to be replacing it to 50% again. I wear glasses too and agree that the glare it block makes driving so much more comfortable.
I’ve been installing a lot of 70% in the last few years. I prefer 50% but every vehicle can use 70%

I’m currently at a shop getting 50% on the windshield Xpel. I also wear glasses and do night driving at times along with early morning driving. I hope it works out. I didn’t want to dark and the rest of my suv is 20% not to mention I have tan leather so it would make it lighter

Im gonna go ahead and do 5% on the windshield and 50% on the windows of my drift car. Seems the most practical for me.

Good tip on the cutout for inspection sticker. But does it compromised the longevity of the tint edge from peeling ?
Eh it may not sure. Haven’t kept a vehicle long enough to find out!
I’m starting to see more tinted windshields around all of a sudden here in Alabama, last week I was in Jacksonville and I saw Trevor Lawrence at the intersection near the stadium, he had his windshield tinted dark but I was still able to see his long face and long hair as he drove by.
I think it would be great for the day time but for me would probably be harder to see at night, especially since I live in a more rural area.
You pushed me to go 35% with 5% strip…That truck looks amazing!
I did double 5% on all windows with 20 on the windshield and don’t regret it
I live in MA and definitely see way more people getting their full windshields tinted especially on newer vehicles. I might bite the bullet after I get my inspection sticker
I highly recommend 🤙🏼
Obviously 35% tint on windshield looks better, but having 50% looks totally doable with no worry that a cop would write a fix-it ticket (I'm from California). Does anyone here have 35% or lower on their windshield who lives in CA? ever have any trouble with cops?

Thinking about doing 5% all around 50% on the windshield of my truck but now contemplating on 35% just don’t want it to bring me too much trouble with cops considering that the truck is white the contrast in white and black I think will really make it stand out. Any opinions?
If you’re doing 5% everywhere else I’d think 50% on the shield will be plenty 🤘🏼
I need to update this video but I have a Corvette now with 5% everywhere and a 35% shield and it’s DARK DARK!
@@JohnWargo93 appreciate your input I think I will go the 5-50% route then
So you recommend getting the sticker cut outs than just placing the sticker over the tint?
I’m a fan of it personally because cops can see the stickers clearer so it looks less suspicious and also you don’t have to worry about scratching the tint trying to take the old stickers off to put new ones back on.
What do you guys think of 50% front windshield and 15% everything else? Is it too dark or dark enough?
Eh I need to make an update to this video. I just got my Corvette done. 15% sides and 35% windshield it looks so good! I think a 50% shield would also look good.
That’s a good combo, have you had any trouble with the police? What would you reccomend for a 2007 Toyota Camry!
@@YungSn1pe I have not, luckily. I know it’s dark however in the corvette the windows are down 90% of the time I drive it just because. I personally think the perfect daily driver combination is 20% sides and 50% windshield. That’s what we do on all the wires whips so she never has any trouble from the cops. I do 35% on mine because I’m not as worried lol
@@JohnWargo93 if you had a Camry as a daily car what would you do? 35% Front Windshield with 20% all around or 50% front windshield and 15% all around? Asking because I’m getting mine done tomorrow and want some advice
@@YungSn1pe hmmmm I think both of those combinations will net you about the same end result. If it’s your first time doing full windshield tint I always suggest going 50% to be safe just so that it isn’t too dark for you and you have any issues seeing at night! Hope that helps!
I do wish we would've seen a nighttime comparison with the untinted windshield
Plan to remake this with the current vehicles and whatnot. Stay tuned!
He loves that Volkswagen.
50 percent windshield is perfect.
I'm almost 34 I've done windshields for over 15 years started out with 35% with all other windows 5% last 2 years I've switched to 30% full windshield and is the darkest I would go and yes I drive at night alot , have super bright led lights.
