    Yesterday i had the driver and passenger door windows tinted at 50% on my 328. I was going to have the fornt windshield done yesterday as well but they ran out of time. Has anyone else tinted their front windshield?

    Not a good idea... Even if the tint is legal in your area (odds are no) when a police officer sees a car he can't see in to YOU GET PULLED OVER for the slightest thing

    I can tell you for sure it is illegal in California. But I'm curious, why do you want to tint the windshield?

    LOL! I knew of a cop (fed) with all glass on his late model black Caddy with dark, dark tint... The only glass not tinted was a small square where his inspection and registration stickers were placed. You couldn't see into the car through the windshield.

    My reasoning for wanting to tint it at 50% is that the angle of the windshield is basically parallel to the ground and the sun just fries the crap out of you. I'm in Cal. and it hits 100+ for most of the summer. The air conditioning in these cars only keeps you from dying. I already knew it was illegal. It is also illegal here to tint the driver and passenger door windows. I just wanted to know if anyone else had done this.

    I just got my windows tinted with 15% all the way around. Except the windshield. A buddy of mine has his windshield tinted, i think it looks good but would never do it.

    Anything below 15 percent makes it difficult to see out of at night. A serious drawback. I prefer 5% on all windows, just roll all of them down when you get pulled. Tinting a windshield is just plain stupid in my book. Your just asking for trouble from many angles.
