Not sure also not sure of the % tint he did. I do not recall him mentioning any issues. I am sure he will see your post and give you all the details. Just hang on.

I'd like to save my interior from UV rays. Wonder if it's legal in Texas.

Not legal in MA either, but neither is my exhaust, tinted tail lights, no front plate, ride height or Road rallies!

I tinted mine due to the heat in the cabin while parked, did the trick and yea, it looks bad ***.

50% on windshield and 40% all around.

It's wonderful fun to bust C7Jakes *****, but his recommendation for the trunk net has resulted in my most useful mod by far.

I don't think its legal in any state below the windshield hash mark, unless prescribed by a doctor.

I Have had 50% on my cars windshields for years, and have only been pulled over once in my Panamera. There was a trooper on the side of the road and pulled me over because he said he could not see inside my windshield as I drove past. He just gave me a warning and told me to remove it.

It does definitely help with glare.

I don't think it's legal in any state, but there is special tint for windshields that deflects 95% of UV rays but show very little change in color so you can hardly tell anything was done. I know a few local Corvette owners here in Florida who have it. I plan to add it as well.
