Front Windshield Tint Strip

BigH203 · 07-06-2008, 11:05 AM

I'm looking to tint over the factory tint strip on the front windshield but I'm not sure if I should go with 20% to match the rest of my tints or go darker?

Also whats a good length to make the strip? I'd like it to come down to the bottom of the rear-view mirror.

theres a mark on the windshield that shows the legal width, i think it says as1 and has a line by it. i think 20% is good especially this time of year

Hard to tell from the outside, but here is mine.

Yea the front windshield entirely tinted garners way too much attention from the police. I considered getting it done with a 35% tint but here in CT our registration stickers go on the front windshield in the lower driver side corner which stops a lot of people from doing it. I have seen cars where it was tinted over the sticker, but they would have to cut around the tint and remove the sticker when the time came for renewal.
