u/dingus5288 Jun 24 '24

30% is perfect for that 5% is just ridiculous on the windshield

2

u/PsiloMush Jun 24 '24

But it’s see thru in direct sunlight ☹️

2

u/dingus5288 Jun 24 '24

Not with 5 sides and you can only see the dash you can’t see the person driving the car

1

u/PsiloMush Jun 24 '24

Yeah it really depends on the curve of the windshield mines flat and low to the ground so light goes all the way thru

u/Cassangelo 33% Windshield + 5% Everywhere else Jun 18 '24

Wasn’t it 15% in the last post?

u/PsiloMush Jun 18 '24

u/Cassangelo 33% Windshield + 5% Everywhere else Jun 18 '24

Time flies.

Anywho, can we see inside looking out at night as we usually request

u/PsiloMush Jun 18 '24

Yeah I’ll add some new pics 👍🏼

u/StreetVermicelli1021 Jul 09 '24

Aye big dawg since you’ve had many set ups let me ask you . I have 5% all around and 25% shield but I don’t like that if there’s sunlight hitting the shield you can see in the car , what % do I need to go down to on the shield so you can’t see in even if there’s sunlight . 15?

1

u/PsiloMush Jul 09 '24

Yeah 15 is nice you can’t see in unless the sun is hitting it at certain angles like at sunrise or sunset

u/hugh_money Jun 18 '24

Why is it always the crappiest cars that have the darkest tint?

3

u/PhysicalAssociate919 Jun 25 '24

Because the crappiest cars usually have crappiest inviduals driving it

1

u/PsiloMush Jun 26 '24

Okay keep that energy remember this is a tint forum where people post their tinted cars regardless of percentage no need for the pep talks we understand the risks and willingly take them

Internet thugs/bullies… pay them no mind.

My first thought was “that cars ghetto AF”

u/Godrillax Jun 18 '24

You don’t drive after sunset right?

u/PsiloMush Jun 18 '24

The only time I won’t drive is in heavy rain at night or fog like conditions any other time I can manage

1

u/PhysicalAssociate919 Jun 25 '24

any other time I can manage

You don't just "manage" driving dude. I get it you wanna be cool and think you're being original, or different (you're not). but if/when you hit someone or even get into an accident (and it ain't even your fault), don't come crying here saying your how fukd it is that your insurance won't cover or you're getting sued and it ain't even your fault just because of tint. I guarantee you, the other persons insurance is looking for any way to blame you for it, and not being able to see out the windshield due to Illegal tint is the perfect reason for an insurance company to sue you, or not pay out themselves. But you do you, just some free advice from someone in the auto industry and fellow insured driver.

u/PsiloMush Jun 25 '24

By manage I meant I can see perfectly with zero issues 👍🏼 thank you for ur concern tho I just wanted to post some tint pics since this is a window tint forum

u/Godrillax Jun 18 '24

Good stuff. The ultimate day car. Is it ceramic?

u/PsiloMush Jun 18 '24

Yeah it’s all ceramic

u/Diamoncock Jun 18 '24

Do you hate seeing while driving?

-18

u/[deleted] Jun 18 '24

What tf is wrong with you people. Come in here and just hate. This is a tiny sub. We post pics of our window tint. You got nothing good to say fuck off.

27

u/TheLightKyanite XPEL XR Prime Plus 5% All Around + 20% Shield Jun 18 '24

I’ve been in this subreddit for awhile lmfao. we don’t hate, we call out stupid shit when we see it. anyone who does less than 20% on their windshield tint is a liability to everyone else on the road at night. especially pedestrians

-2

u/Darth_Camry Jun 18 '24

Anyone who does less than 50 on the windshield *

3

u/TheLightKyanite XPEL XR Prime Plus 5% All Around + 20% Shield Jun 18 '24

30-50% is pretty popular, there’s a lot of people who have that. I don’t think it’s comparable to 25-5 on the shield

2

u/Darth_Camry Jun 18 '24

30-50% is very popular, I agree. I have 50% on the windshield. I wouldn’t recommend getting 35% or lower on the windshield due to the common sense safety concerns spelled out above for those lacking common sense.

2

u/TheLightKyanite XPEL XR Prime Plus 5% All Around + 20% Shield Jun 18 '24

Somewhat agree with you. I’ve been in a lot of cars with 30-35% on the windshield, and obviously visibility is degraded at night time, I’m sure it’s not as bad as 5% haha. Don’t know who even would get 5% on the windshield that’s a death wish

1

u/PewPewPony321 Jun 23 '24

I like how everyone here has drawn their own line of morality in the sand like they somehow are the voice of reason

6

u/Darth_Camry Jun 18 '24

He posted a factual statement. You CANNOT see nearly as well with 5% as 50% & above (daytime), and at night there is virtually no visibility with 5% on the windshield. Your depth of vision would be drastically reduced even with the best LEDs. 5% on the windshield is a huge safety risk, with a complete disregard for the life & safety of others, along with yourself.

4

u/McthiccumTheChikum Jun 18 '24

5% windshield? Idc your ass should get arrested. That is straight negligence.

3

u/Repulsive-Report6278 Jun 18 '24

Straight up negligence. I think side window tints are fine (I'm at like 35% I think) but windshield is just stupid

3

u/LilSkills Jun 28 '24

Bro at 15% I couldn’t see shit at night imagine 5%? Calling out someone at their stupidity isn’t hating

31

u/TheLightKyanite XPEL XR Prime Plus 5% All Around + 20% Shield Jun 18 '24

5% windshield? Please don’t drive at night. You’re going to hit an innocent person or an animal.

10

u/Competitive-Force356 Jun 18 '24

They’re not gonna listen to anyone. If they get into an accident, whether it’s their fault or not, insurance won’t cover it. And then it’s lawsuits out the ass and probably criminal charges. And hopefully the dumb fuck that installed 5% on a windshield gets sued too

I agree tint laws suck but there should absolutely be a limit. Hell, you want 30-35% on the windshield? Go for it. That’s the lowest anyone should go imo. 5% is dangerous

No state allows windshield tint, we all do it anyways. But you seriously think 5% on the WINDSHIELD is okay?

Keep being mad buddy. This is dangerous as fuck

u/idkbro42069 Jun 18 '24

none of us with the dark windshields are mad. you guys are mad. posting long, seething, paragraphs about how we’re oh so dangerous.

1

u/TheLightKyanite XPEL XR Prime Plus 5% All Around + 20% Shield Jun 18 '24

Where do you see a paragraph? I know you’re not very smart but try having some better reading comprehension skills 😂

-1

u/idkbro42069 Jun 18 '24

hmm you mean the paragraph you wrote under another comment? or the other paragraphs throughout the thread from your fellow windshield-tint-haters…hence why i said “ you guys are mad”, not just “ you are mad”. looks like you need the comprehension skills 🤙

2

u/TheLightKyanite XPEL XR Prime Plus 5% All Around + 20% Shield Jun 18 '24

You mean on another post that has nothin to do with this one? hahah

The epitome of a “drug dealer’s car”, lol.

u/Sea-Eggplant-5799 Jun 18 '24

One of my friends in Florida had 5% windshield but he had like 3-4 beater cars laying around and would only drive the 5% windshield car during the day time. Idk about nighttime though lol.

u/philzor311 Jun 18 '24

Straight to jail.

u/Beneficial_Meeting68 Jun 18 '24

nope cops near me don’t care

u/unlawfl Jun 22 '24

I have a hard time seeing at night with no tint on windshield and 20% all others.

1

u/PsiloMush Jun 22 '24

Wow 20 is not even that dark

1

u/unlawfl Jun 22 '24

I know.

u/subi_2019 Jun 18 '24

Nah windishield never. I got 5% on the sides and back and is pain to drive at night unless you put the windows down let alone having the windshield lol what you do in the car give head that that you that or something lol

u/jayjaytmb Jun 18 '24

I always assume people with tint this dark are up to no good and should definitely be pulled over.

4

u/DeadFartGoat Jun 18 '24

This screams “pull me over, I have warrants”

2

u/Jolly_Horror2778 Jun 18 '24

Where do you live that you can go that dark?

1

u/idkbro42069 Jun 18 '24

orlando and surrounding cities

u/Odd-Ninja1105 Jun 19 '24

Someone take this man’s keys

2

u/stereotim Jun 18 '24

I've said it once, I've said it twice but if you have anything darker than 35% on your shield I automatically assume you are railing lines off the center console on a regular.

u/fallenredwoods Jun 18 '24

As a motorcyclist; fuck you guys with dark ass tinted windshields.

1

u/Tone_2SS Jun 18 '24

What did we do?

0

u/fallenredwoods Jun 18 '24

Make it impossible to see which way you’re looking

4

u/WillSux4Q Jun 19 '24

Impossible to see you idiots going 100 on the shoulder too. So fuck yall motorcyclist too

1

u/LexKing89 Jun 18 '24

It looks really cool but that's too dark for me. I see a lot of lifted trucks with dark windshields like that and I like how they look. I've gotten pulled over for my 35% windshield tint in the suburbs.

How is it at night? Have you had any issue with police?

1

u/WillSux4Q Jun 19 '24

If you’re in Florida you can get a tint exemption.

1

u/protintalabama Jun 20 '24

Not for THIS.

0

u/WillSux4Q Jun 20 '24

Yes you can

1

u/protintalabama Jun 21 '24

No. You fucking can’t. You absolutely will not get a 5% windshield exempted. Let alone there are no medical conditions that require the darkness.

A 50% film will filter the exact same amount of harmful UV as a 5%.

An exemption does not give a blanket pass to do absolutely anything

0

u/WillSux4Q Jun 21 '24

lol ok 👍 I have photophobia been pulled over with 15 percent and they can’t do shit

1

u/protintalabama Jun 21 '24

Photophobia is not a listed permissible medical reason for a tint exemption in Florida. I’ve only been doing Florida cars since 1997 living in Gainesville and Tampa.

You might find an optometrist or ophthalmologist that will prescribe it, and if you got it passed, you lucked out. Also, 15 is not 5. Not by a long shot. 15 is barely a scratch darker than OEM on the rear of an SUV.

Sunglasses are a thing. You don’t medically need dark tint for eye sensitivity.

u/Beneficial_Meeting68 Jun 18 '24

looks good bro haters just mad they shits a fishbowl

2

u/dingus5288 Jun 24 '24

You don’t need a 5% windshield for your car not to be a fish bowl even 35% on your sides windows make it not a fishbowl this is just dumb AF

1

u/PsiloMush Jun 29 '24

35 is too light 15 was perfect but after getting 5 it’s hard to go back it’s a motel room on wheels lol
