    With the 80 you will be able to tell a huge difference. Whatever you go with let's see some pics!
    On another note. The tacoma has a lot of curve top to bottom and left to right in the windshield, that bieng said. They may have to do two pieces. Ie a visor and then rhe rest of the windshield. I love the look of a 15% visor and air 80 on the rest of the windshield.

    From the CHP website my man...


    Can I put after-market tinting on the windows of my vehicle?
    The main requirements for legal window tinting in California are:


    1. The windshield and front driver's side and passenger's side windows cannot receive any aftermarket tinting.
    2. If the rear window of a vehicle is tinted, the vehicle must have outside rearview mirrors on both sides.
    The law prohibits any person from driving any motor vehicle with any object or material placed, displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows, with certain limited exceptions.
    However, legislation signed into law effective January 1, 1999, exempts from the above prohibition specified clear, colorless, and transparent material that is installed, affixed, or applied to the front driver and passenger side windows for the specific purpose of reducing ultraviolet rays. If, as, or when this material becomes torn, bubbled or otherwise worn, it must be removed or replaced.
