Here is my wife's car with 20% tint. She calls it her Batmobile :-). I've had window tint on cars going back to my first car in 1979. Never had any issues.

GREAT picture! Almost looks like a Matchbox in your driveway. Love it!!
Bucsfan - Thank you. It's amazing what you can do with an iPhone and the proper app these days using computational photography. Years ago it took 1000's of dollars to invest in an SLR camera and tilt focus lens to get the same effect through optical photography. Unfortunately, as a result, all my film cameras are sitting around collecting dust these days.

As an amateur photog for 45 years I was wondering how that was done.
Does anyone have any pictures of there windshield tinted? Around 70% or so. I'd like to see to get some kind of idea before I do it. If so do you like it?

Curious about this too, and do most do a dark strip on top?
I had the ceramic tint Llumar CTX 40% put in initially, but found it had a whitish haze in the sun, so I changed it to Llumar ATC 35% and the haze is gone and I like it better. That's my only experience with ceramic but has anyone also noticed a haze with ceramic tint?
Does anyone know what the original factory tint percentage is? Probably cannot really add much here in Iowa and stay legal (and they do enforce it). Just another thing to get you pulled over like no front plate on an officers whim I guess. I definitely live in a no fun zone!

Most tint shops will check it for you then keep you legal if you want. I have 35% sides and back.

Just checked my '16 Z & in lower right (passenger side) of windshield it says "Min of 70%", same thing for sides (in left opera window-tiny one). PS: Actually says in all windows 70%.

I have CTX 30% on the sides of the car and the rear. I'm in TN, 35% is the law but I have never been hassled. This is a 2014. I run 30% in my pick ups also, never an issue.
I don't know if the process or materials have improved much recently, but I see a lot of tinted cars driving around with tint that is bubbling, fogging, peeling, and otherwise looking like S--t. I just can't get myself excited about putting that stuff on a high dollar sports car...
If you don't take care of it or are stupid enough to use Windex w/Ammonia it will.
I've had it on all cars for the better part of 20 years now and only get a little peel in one corner where the guy didn't get it down well enough.
I have had 5% on the vette before, that is too dark if you drive at night. I stick with 30% now.
