How are you going to roll down a windshield? Unless I'm not seeing the picture right... he tinted everything.

I have NEVER seen a front windshield tinted like that. Interesting. I DO see the reflective kind on the front all the time...legal. Never a VAST hole of blackness though. Watch out for birds!

Redlinin 8: Just a word of advice... I would double check with your insurance company about their tinting policy. The guy who tinted my car told me that if the winshield is tinted and you get in an accident -- they aren't liable and can claim your view was obstructed by the tint - no matter what the percentage. So might want to consider taking the front tints off the winshield, although they do look rather nice .

hope the front isnt done
its no fun driving a car with the front windshield done, my s4 was completely tinted
the guy even tinted the outside mirrors. i would tell everyone the previous owner was a ugly ***** $#^## and must of hated himself
but tints to me have 2 things that bother me
1 cops its a reason
2. easier for thiefs to break window with out noise(shatters and sticks to tint)
well in my old previous home i learned that the hard way several times.

Thanks for the comments. I tinted the front windshield for looks. No it is not legal,its hard to see out but its not terrible. The legal part doesnt concern me because i have family on the force and know many cops that take care of my tickets.The car looks like a beast when its comming down the street with just the driving lights on and the tint. Iv'e been getting more attention the last 2 days than the last month.Even if i get pulled over (which i havnt yet) its worth it,it makes the car look that good.

looks cool, don't think I'd ever tint the front myself but whatever, your eyelids look like they don't match your red in the pics, they look darker to me for some reason.

This is retarded. You've set aside safety and drivability in favor of looks. Do you also recline the seat all the way back while you drive? And this is just my opinion, but I'm not a fan of the eyelids either. They look tacked on, like they don't belong.

If you want to give an opinion give it,but dont get stupid from behind a computer screen and start saying things like "do you also recline the seat all the way back while you drive". I drive at the speed limits and i have no problems seeing during the day. At night its a little hard to see,but its not at all an issue because im not doing 100mph down every road.You have 11 posts, and if you want to get respect from other members, dont start assuming things. To anyone else that posted honest opinions,thanks.

That was a question, not an assumption. And I don't recall saying anything about speeding. Whether I have 11 posts or 270, my opinion's not going to change. Talk about having a problem taking criticism.
