Looks great! Thats what I have on mine for the sides and rear. I love the privacy. And so do the police.

How is the driving at night with the tint on the windshield?

Nice! I have 20% on the sides and 15% on the back. I would love to have the windshield too but that is sooo illegal here, and the car already gets enough attention from the leo's. How are you guys getting away with tinting the windshield??

thanks for all the good comments i really like it. Here in indiana they dont care about window tints that much and you can't get pulled over for ur tint, you have to be doing something else illegal. anyways i havent been bothered by any cops on my old car and my vette in indiana or iowa (main places im at)

here are some pics from the inside

rear


window


windshield

I know guys who have applied a relatively clear "tint" on their windshield that reduce the UV rays and helps keep the car cooler, however you can barely notice it. They then have the standard tint on the sides/rear so it doesn't look like the windshield is tinted by comparison. LEOs have left them alone, however they are pretty leniant in Florida unless you have limo tint all the way around.
