I would not recommend tinting the front windshield at all. You may not get a ticket, but there is NO state that allows front windshield tint other than the factory tint at the top of the windshield. If you get into an accident, regardless if it was your fault or not, and they see that you have tint on your windshield, you are going to be very very sorry.
good call.. I didn't think about that....

You'll be happy with the Pinicle Formula One tint.
I had it installed on my car and it's great. No interference with radio or anything, and I don not see any lines from the lights coming in from my rear window.

Let me know how it goes.

i wasn't planning to tint the front windshield either until after i saw a thread about 3M Crystalline front windshield tint that made me curious about it. That's why i asked about it when i was getting my tints installed. I asked if they carried it and they said have UV protection but it doesn't help with glare that much and after he showed an example of a front windshield i just decided to go through with it. Let's just all hope I and whoever has their front windshield tinted ever gets into an accident or if we ever do they don't notice it.

yes, that's why i went with the pinnacle, but i do notice i see glare from headlights/streetlights/lights in general in my rear window. i dont know if it's because of the defroster with the tint, does anyone else have this issue?
