(my measurements might be off - it's been a LONG TIME since i was pulled over for that)
and i like the idea of the placing the tint on the windshield for "testing" however, it might not work, as tint that is not affixed to a window had different properties in both glare and clarity - but it would give you a general idea

If you read the whole thread, he stated his car is a track/trailor queen, not driven on the road.

I had one of my 5.0's tinted 60% on the windshield, it was nice. no glare from oncoming traffic, cooler inside the car, and looked nice also. Limo would be a little much, but on a trailer/track queen who cares.

Here in Illinois, any tint from the drivers side forward is illegal. Anything on the back is OK. I went with limo on the hatch, and the lightest available on the sides. From a front on view, you can't see anything inside the car. The wave has to be out side the window.

Speeding is illegal,yet everyone does it. I wouldn't like it on my car but if you like it and can afford the tickets, go for it. I would think that the HUD would be dim but will work. Now a radar detector....That will cut down the range (if you are using a 3m metal film). Let me know the outcome either way. -Ed
