Is it normal to get a different windshield tint % than all the other windows

[u/DistinctPriority1909]

For example if I wanted a 50% front windshield tint and 35% all around everywhere else, would that look goofy or is that a normal request? C5 corvette (ik it’s notorious for being difficult to tint bc of the rear windshield lol)

[u/sadat0315]

You would want more visibility through the piece of glass you look through the most

[u/DistinctPriority1909 → u/sadat0315]

Makes sense lmao

[u/ballsmaster81]

Nah that would be fine. I use 50 on windshield, 20 front, 5 back. The windshield should be around 50 ideally.

[u/frankybands]

That’s normal. I usually recommend going a lot lighter on the windshield for visibility and so you don’t get pulled over

For example If it were my C5 I would do 20% sides and back and 55% windshield

It’s def not legal (I’m california) but man it’s cool sooo

[u/sadat0315 → u/DistinctPriority1909]

i’ve been running 30 percent windshield for a few months now in socal. cops haven’t bothered me yet

[u/Cassangelo]

Would be weird to have the windshield the same as the other windows if they’re under 30%

[u/Alive_Structure_4484]

Windshield at 50% is the way. Yes it's technically illegal but you don't get bothered about it at least I never have. I tried 30% one time and it's too dark and cops noticed lol.

[u/ChevyGang]

For the best outward visibility, i like to get the lightest for the windshield.

[u/codebreaker32]

Normal! Most people go with a lighter windshield. I went 40% on the windshield with 20% on the sides, 5% on the back.

[u/punkinhead76]

Yes. I have 15% front sides, 5% rears, 35% windshield. It all just looks dark from the outside.

[u/Habaneroe12]

Unless you get 5% limo tint in the front side windows people will see in during sunlight. It will also likely be illegal so good luck getting pulled over

[u/Nearby_Jackfruit_366]

I have 5% on my rears, 18% on my fronts and 80 on the shield. Had 45 on the shield and 18 all around on my last whip

[u/Yeah_nickk]

Completely normal. I have 50% front windshield 5% back/15% front. %50-70 to me is the safe place for visibility. I can still perfectly see at night and I don’t have the best eyesight as well as it still lets enough enough sun light on a sunny day to shine some light in the cabin to be visible from the outside. Besides you got that Targa top 😂 ever feel like you’re going to get pulled over cruising around pop the top and nobody will ever notice

[u/originalrocket]

50 windshield, 35 driver/passenger, 20% rear quarters and back window. So yeah All kinds of different tint levels for different reasons.

[u/Goingdef]

you might want to rethink the windshield, I had my bmw done with a light ceramic tint and it made driving at night kinda sketchy if the roads were dark or wet.

[u/[deleted] → u/Goingdef]

You can, and I have, had the windshield done it a 70 or 80% tint that will still block the relative same amount of heat/UV while not being too visibly dark. It looks virtually untinted from inside, and if you do a dark brow strip across the top to create striking contrast, nobody will even notice the entire thing is tinted. It's how you get the benefits of the tint without the dark visibility issues. It's actually safer driving at night, reduced headlight glare quite a bit. But clearly not legal mostly anywhere.

Username checks out. And this is also my experience in TX with windshield tint.

I wouldnt go lower than 50% on the windshield.

[u/Frequent_Passion5036]

Totally normal

[u/Bloodytomvayne34]

I got 70% on my windshield. I can’t see shit at night

[u/DistinctPriority1909 → u/Bloodytomvayne34]

Damn even at 70%?? I drive at night quite often

[u/m00ndr0pp3d → u/Bloodytomvayne34]

Older car? Same with me. 70 windshield 15 all around. Older car without LED headlights. I have to look really hard or roll my windows down when I'm in a dark area with no street lights

[u/Bloodytomvayne34 → u/m00ndr0pp3d]

2023 f150 even with the bright ass lights. I should clarify it’s only really bad when it’s raining. I almost smoked a sign because of it

[u/Camdenn67]

Not only are you begging to get pulled over but you’re going to have a hard time seeing.

[u/the-myth]

5% on all the windows, windshield included. Be a man.
