    in all honesty, i wouldnt go with anything darker than 20% on the windshield, with 5% everywhere else you wont be able to see inside, and likely wont see much of anything outside either lol

    yeah i dont think some people realize how dark the slightest windshield tint looks when the rest of the truck is dark.

    I mainly wanna tint the whole windshield to cool the damn truck off.

    Check out the ceramic Nano Shat... Every main tint manufacturer has some version of it, it's crazy how much heat it blocks, I've read it works inversely in the wintertime with heat escaping too. Not that it gets cold in Hawaii...

    well I've been driving for 13+ yrs like this, so its kinda second nature. I've never had any vision problems at all. Get my eyes checked every few yrs for work and I check out at 20/20 so that helps too.

    Do it. I have it on all my vehicles. It's well worth it to me. I also have 20% on the front roll ups and 20% overlayed on all the back windows.
