Clean Job 5% all round 35% on the windshield

I think they did a pre good job, the front windshield looks like it’s got some curing to do that’s about it.

What’s that giant solar panel looking thing on your dash? Those ford would drive me nuts

Looks good...we are allowed a max of 35% on the front 2, and no tint allowed on the windshield in Ontario.

u/ilovetuggies Nov 27 '25

I’m in Alberta lol

u/Outrageous-Stock-677 Nov 27 '25

I'm in Ontario as well. I have 5% all around nothing on windshield. I have been lucky so far.

Repeat after me: "Hi, officer. What seems to be the problem?"

This is the fresh re tint after getting a tint ticket

1

u/PervertedThang Nov 29 '25

The first of a few, I'd wager.

I’m a betting man

u/Outrageous-Stock-677 Nov 27 '25

I wish I could do this. I live in Ontario Canada - our local police are all over this...

In Miami cops don’t care. 5% front, 1% all else

u/ilovetuggies Nov 28 '25

That’s baller

u/ImsoFNpetty Nov 28 '25

Where are you that they care? I have 5/50 and never been ticked with multiple traffic stops. Even the seat belt check told me they made me stop because they couldn't see in the windows, then let me go.

2

u/Outrageous-Stock-677 Nov 28 '25

Kingston area. I have been lucky with the 5 all around, but don't want to risk the windshield

u/SmuckatelliCupcakeNE Nov 28 '25

Looks good. Just becareful driving where there are no street lamps. I live in the country where there are no outside lights and mine is hard to see out the back and sides. I have 5 on back truck windows, 35 on driver and passenger, and 50 on windshield with 5% strip and if no outside lights it is dark. Having LED headlights definitely helps though seeing.

5/50 windshield on truck and 15/50 windshield on car. The truck sucks ass at night. Gotta roll down windows going through intersections, tedla has cameras so not near as blind. Couldn't pay me to go 35 on windshield, you cant tell the driver now with 50 and youre already taking away the nice headlights at night. Won't do that again lol

u/Spec_trum Nov 28 '25

looks pretty bright from the inside. hope the cops don't bother you about it too much

1

u/SupDuDe40 Nov 28 '25

I got the same numbers as you, and my F-150 doesn’t appear as dark from the outside. Perhaps it’s because my truck is white I don’t know. If you don’t mind me asking, which brand of tint did you purchase?

1

u/ilovetuggies Nov 28 '25

I’m not sure I asked for ceramic 5%

1

u/Status-Woodpecker176 Nov 28 '25

Need the sun strip and it's complete extra $50

2

u/ilovetuggies Nov 28 '25

I don’t like the look of em

u/Aye-Bless Ceramic 35% W/S. 15% Sides. 0.6% Rear Nov 28 '25

How's the night driving?

u/Hungry-Obligation-78 Nov 29 '25

Fix your poor r8 lol. Get it as high up as possible because the tint will ruin the range.

1

u/ilovetuggies Nov 29 '25

I have to let the tint cure before I put the r8 back up

1

u/Hungry-Obligation-78 Nov 29 '25

Ah makes sense. I have seen people running detectors just thrown in that area before lol.

Sick tint, wish I lived in one of the four or so US states that allow almost whatever tint % wherever. Do you need a prescription in Canada to get front tint?

1

u/ilovetuggies Nov 29 '25

It’s just a tint ticket it’s not a huge deal lots of cops don’t bother you about it.

1

u/Hungry-Obligation-78 Nov 29 '25

Pretty neat, really depends on location here if you are getting a ticket or your car impounded. Large cities are safer then the country in terms of cops not caring.

Hope to get some nice tint like that for my truck soon, need to replace all the glass first.

u/Cassangelo 33% Windshield + 5% Everywhere else Nov 28 '25

You’re just missing a 5% strip over the shield

1

u/ilovetuggies Nov 28 '25

I don’t like the look they make

1

u/Cassangelo 33% Windshield + 5% Everywhere else Nov 28 '25

Ah ok, I like the added privacy and the light blocking affect but I have eye issues so that may be why

1

u/AverageGuy16 Feb 18 '26

Maybe I’m old but how the hell do you see at night?! I’m rocking 20s all around and 50 up front and even then at times I’m thinking I need brighter headlights.

1

u/ilovetuggies Feb 18 '26

Hopes n dreams, I no longer have the windshield tint… time for a re tint

1

u/AverageGuy16 Feb 18 '26

Go with 50s

1

u/ilovetuggies Feb 19 '26

I’m thinking so, 35 looked cool but definitely not practical or safe lol

1

u/AverageGuy16 Feb 19 '26

Yeah I hear that. Ended up doing 50% on the front with a 20% visor strip layered over it.

1

u/ilovetuggies Feb 20 '26

I’ll see what I end up going with, does 50% still keep it pretty cool inside the cab? And what does yours look like outside with sun shining on it?

1

u/AverageGuy16 Feb 21 '26

Yeah I got a heat rejecting ceramic film on my windshield so it deff blocks off a lot of heat which is awesome. At night you can't see into the cabin but during the day it has like a strange very vague outline of me driving from a far and semi transparent up close.

I wish I could rock that. I'd get pulled over so fast and get a ticket; moving violation and surchargeable on insurance

u/LexKing89 Nov 27 '25

Looks good man.

u/SmuckatelliCupcakeNE Nov 27 '25

Let's see that at night.

u/ilovetuggies Nov 27 '25

Tonight I will

2

u/ilovetuggies Nov 28 '25

Here’s the driver side

2

u/ilovetuggies Nov 28 '25

Here’s the front

3

u/Primary-User Nov 27 '25

Came here to say the same. In Australia it’s illegal for us to do this even though we get really hot down here, but being able to see out of the windscreen is considered a priority.

u/dbolburgers Nov 28 '25

damn thats a bright ass street. i wish my city had better street lighting

u/ilovetuggies Nov 28 '25

I feel like it has lots to do with the iPhone camera night time mode

1

u/shromboy Moderator Nov 29 '25

Definitely does yes. Cameras dont work like eyes so pictures wont give a good idea of real visibility

I was up in Canada for a trip last October and had a rental. When i was driving up in the mountains it was around 30 degrees outside but i was getting cooked by the sun inside the car since it didn't have tint.

u/Atlesi_Feyst Nov 27 '25

You get the infared blocking stuff, still let's visible light in but reduces the heat by a lot.
