I've been looking at my Mustang (a lot, as I'm sure you can all understand) and I've decided it definitely needs some window tint.

I'm thinking 5% on the back and rear quarters, and 20-30% on the sides.

But, I was just wondering about the windshield. Has anyone tinted their front windshield? I'm kind of unsure if it would look stupid to have dark rear and side glass, and then leave the front windshield at the stock tint. If you want to have a dark looking car, shouldn't you go with tint all the way around? Even just putting 35% or 40% seems like it would balance out with the rest of the glass a bit better than just leaving it at the barely-existant stock tint. I know there's probably the legal issue there, but where I am, you're not even supposed to tint the side windows at all (rear-quarters are okay, but not the main side windows), so if I'm breaking the law with side tint, the windshield probably isn't a huge step beyond in that sense.

Has anyone tinted their windshield, or does everybody pretty much just leave the front alone?

And, to give me an idea on price, how much did you pay for your tinting?

ive got 5% on the back and 35% for door and back windows... i think it looks good... I think tinting the front would be pretty frickin deadly and illegal... i think mine looks fine... id prefer 5% on teh back wondows but texas law only allows 35

It's illegal for a reason. I have 20% on all windows and a 6 inch strip of 20% on the windshield. Looks balanced to me.

i say all or nothing... no offense but the strip of tint on a window has always looked rather unfinished to me... But the back windows?!?!? What does 30% more visibility do through windows the size of those?

35% on the doors and rear - limo tint on the 1/4's - and a 4" strip of limo at the top of the windshield.

My friend has his windshield tinted on his RSX and it looks really good. He has 20% all the way around but with the windshield it makes it look like 5%. At night you can't really tell the windshield is tinted and visibilty is fine.

Is say 20% darker than 10% or is it the other way around?

I have black GT/CS with 30% on the sides, back and the whole windshield and I love it.
My wifes car and my work truck has the windshield tinted with 30 %. I've always loved black vehicles with smoked out windows.
But its your preference and law limitations, but in Oklahoma their are no tint laws since they did without the inspection sticker.

Nope. The % is the percentage of light that gets through the tint. So, 5% only lets 5% of light through (very dark), whereas 50% lets 50% of light rays through, so it's much lighter and easier to see into.

The higher the tint %, the closer it is to being clear.

Alright, thanks.
