    ive always tinted my windshields, just always got them to dark. for those of you that may want to tint whole windshield, they have a 50% tint. You can see just find at night, or at least I can.

    NO, its not legal. YES, you can get pulled over for this. Yes, for some people, it affects night driving if you go too dark. NOT recommended for everyone.

    But in South GA, it gets HOT! This helps out!

    I also have my windshield tinted. I love it, certainly helps fight the glare of HIDs in halogen housing that a lot of people are running.

    I've got my windshield tinted to 30%. I makes a big differance, plus helps out with somebody seeing what kinds of "goodies" you have in your truck. Usually people tint the side and back windows, still allowing sunlight to enter through the windshield making it easy for theives to see through the window tint. Tinting the windshield blocks out the majority of that light and makes it harder for them. But I would check your local laws for sure. And a police officer in here in Kentucky is the one that actually informed me about windshield tint. He has his tinted as well on his 4runner.
