50% Windshield tint?

[ericferguson8]

Hey there,

I've been looking into getting a light film for my windshield (50%). I've got 5% on the fronts now and 1% on the back so it's really dark as it is. I'm just wondering if it'll be really noticeable from the outside. I drive a 2006 GMC Sierra so it's a big windshield which may look lighter because of all the light shining on into it. Any info would be great.

Thanks, Eric

Just FYI, you are about to get a lot of heat on here for the darkness.  With that being said, I do 50% on all my windshields.  As long as the window film has good optical clarity, you will be able to see out of it perfectly fine and it will add some shade to the outside, but not too noticeable.

I would like to add that on a cloudy/overcast day, it will be really easy to tell, especially with the truck already being that dark.

Here it is on my E55 AMG with Huper Optik Ceramic 50, GTI with Huper Optik Ceramic 50, and G35 with Huper Optik Performa 45.

Here's two side by side. One with just a front strip,, one with 50% and a strip. Overcast day also.

Ya. I do 50% as well. Just did a Tacoma today. U can tell from the outside especially the darker the other film and interior is. From the inside its practically non existent. I love it.

All 50% windshield and 35% front doors.

70% with medical exemption only is my limit on customer cars and I dont tint my car. Your windows are to dark already imo but none of my business.

Be careful up there.

Cheers

I understand what you mean, and yeah, they are a little too dark, I removed it on my work van, because of the advertisement on the car, would have been pulled over all the time. Did it on two purposes, 1; Take a picture with tint on windshield. 2; Make a video of the install. 

 

I always tell custys that in front of B-pillar, it's on them because any film in front of B-pillar is illegal, and I explain the law till them.

 

Heard some month ago one of them got pulled over for them front windows and windshield, total fine approx. $550 

 

Next day I got a call from him, he wanted front windows tinted again.(not windshield)
