Check your local laws. In general, one CANNOT tint the front windshield (reduces visibility by you as a driver, and, by any law enforcement officer that may need to "see" inside the vehicle).

I can't imagine it being legal in ANY state! Hell it's hard to see out of the tinted side windows at night ... doing the windshield is insane!!!

I hope your jokeing...anyway, it should be no problem. It might even make it more visable.

Your HUD will still work just fine, but like has been said, check your local and state laws on tinting the windshield.
