    To each their own, of course... but I have no idea why you'd tint your windshield, especially so dark.

    2004 F-350...uh lots of motor work to go fast...er. Way to much to list. 2001: 3" leveling kit, ARB bumper, lightforce 240 blitz, 35" KM2s. SOLD 2008: OME 886s 90000 with dakars, LR UCAs, 5% tint, Satashi. SOLD 2015: Flooded and Gone
    the guy that does my tint has different brands and and each brand goes lighter to darker but can be the same % tint. complicating but its nice. plus my HIDs give off plenty of light to the point i get flashed by on coming traffic all the time and the lights have been factory set by the dealership so they aren't pointing directly at the on coming traffic.
    i don't like people seeing what i'm doing or looking in my personal things. nothing to hide i just hate the nosey people in the area i live in.

    EDIT: not trying to be a dick or disrespectful its just my preference.

    No worries, didn't take it that way.

    For me I'd probably have a hard time seeing out at night. Side windows is one thing but the windshield seems dangerous to tint like that. Granted I speak from absolutely no experience looking through one so I might be way off in judgement.

    Also with my luck, it would equate to boat load of tickets

    2 and 1/2% all the way around. It sucked. Don't do it. 20 all the way around and 35 on the front windshield. Killer combo.

    That would look clean honestly
