I have 5% its great for privacy, but at night when your taking corners its really hard to see through the window unless the area is well lit. I would recommend 10% or 20%

what brand is your TINT? Ceramic, Dyed, Hybrid, metallic?
What % is your TINT? 5-70%
What was the cost of your TINT?
Does your windshield has TINT? what brand? What %? . Any damage or problem with sensors/electronics with windshield tint?
Shops say 'Do not do windshield?" (May effect/damage electronics and sensors as they have to use chemicals and water. Is it true?)

I run 20% all around state limit in KS is 35% but they don't care unless you get pulled over for something else. I would not suggest doing the windshield depending on your state that is highly illegal.

Any tint on the front side windows in illegal in MI. I saw one of my friends had removed his (35% on a black car) so I asked why -- he was pulled over just for the tint 3 days in a row! One cop told him they are really cracking down and will stop basically every car they see even if it is not a very dark tint. I was planning to get mine done next week (only 50% on the sides), but now having second thoughts.
