new law just went into affect here. no texting or phone calls for 16-21 year olds, which i think is slightly pointless to single out just that age group. But with tints so dark, they cant see if i'm on the phone!

Here I am, right on cue, although you’ve actually said it all for me.

But I curious about one thing: If 5% all the way around and 18% on the windshield are OK with you, what percent on your windshield would you consider silly?

I used to have a red g35 couple with 50% red tint (cool while it lasted), but had wished I went with a darker black tint... so now I have a silver g37 coupe with 20% black tint and 15% top windshield....sometimes I wish I went with 15% all around though, but I believe the law for broward county florida is 20%. so it works.

I have 25% all around. I don't tint my windshield. I have to agree with some of the comments going dark makes it tough to see at night. I find myself rolling my windows down at night backing out of the garage so I can see correctly. I don't want to hit my SUV while backing up.

cops don't really pull people over any more for tints. I live in MD.

Texting by anybody while driving is illegal in California. I’m not sure about the other States.

But the way I see it, one might as well text with 18% on the windshield because the driver can’t see anything outside anyway. Perhaps when the airbags go off it’s time to put down the phone.

I hate texting or even making phone calls while driving, I'm with you. People don't realize how much focus it takes off the road. I also like using my 6MT as an excuse to not talk to people while driving, keeps them from bugging me.

im a window tinter i own a shop in west babylon ny.... the percentage laws are complete bull****, considering nys tint law is 74% which is practically clear. i have 5% all around with nano 20% on the windsheild, cool thing about this film is that it gets lighter at night to 50% and then returns to dark 20% when the sun is out. really cool stuff. but exspensive. here is a couple pics

That tint sounds awesome...but 20% on your windshield during the day though? I hate to pull my age(and I'm not even old...just older than most of you) and sound like the old fart on this site, but that along with 5% around just doens't sound safe to me.

Now that I've said that...$hit looks b@dass jarena...
