pretty sure windshield tint is illegal unless you have a medical condition...

yeah i know its illegal to tint the windshield. but going to do it anyway. cops are pretty cool around here and as long as you dont go 35% they really dont say anything. plus the rest of my windows are illegal too. 20% all the way around.

Hope you never get into an accident...ever. Even if it's not your fault. Insurance would eat you alive with a tinted windshield.

If it's done right they would never even know especially with 70% thats like nothing. And if the 5% strip is on the top still they would never even question it. I would do atleast 50.
