That was my only complaint with the windshield being tinted was when it was raining.. But you need hids if you do it very dark. And I got 55 w 10 jd on the way for both lows and fogs from ddm tuning

Theres a guy here who does a AWESOME job. He has a vinyl cutting cnc type mahcine that cuts the tint via inputs from a computer program with all vehicles window specs in it already. The fastest/cheapest tinter ive ever seen. 2 front windows only $40, Full 4 door car $145!

The guy down the road whos been in business forever quoted me $215 on my caliber.

If I HAD to complain about it is at night while raining and/or turning at a light (struggle to see lanes) but I think it looks clean and I like it I'm the dark!
Get the 5% then go back get your windshield tinted ($75 here) don't look back and close this thread haha
The one thing i would think i might have a problem with is backing up lol but i'm adding two harbor freight reverse lights under the bumper to help
I bought the tint off of ebay D:

I thought about the rain but i live in south texas and its rare that it rains, i usually don't drive much when its raining because my tires are bald right now to much and thats cause they are 285/75/16 Bf goodrich all terrain, haha they look like slicks!

I had 5% on back windows and on the front 15%.. cant really see and never had any problems with the police because it was dark, when you start going to 5% they'll notice. 15% was just perfect, but didnt have pass inspection cuz of it lol... 28% is what i have now and it is horrible..

I have 5% all the way around with eyebrow. Only problem I have is backing out of my driveway but I'm used to it now. I do plan on adding another layer of limo on the back glass and 20% on the sides
