I need to call the tint place and see how much they charge. Gotta jump on it soon because I need to put my registration sticker on.

Let's us know what you decide and how it works out for you.
Just hope you don't do night driving and get in an accident ... Tennessee law limits windshield to 70% ...

40% gotta be like driving with sunglasses at night

I use air 80 on windshield and moon roof

Stick your stickers to this and peel on/off as needed from actual glass

Must have for tinted windshields so you don't risk damaging the tint removing old stickers

I was thinking the Air80 for my windshield, a 5% brow, get the front windows redone with 25% (legal limit here) and they're 30% now, rear windows are tinted at 15% right now so the 30% looks really light.

I'll order that now. Thanks for the heads up! I was wondering how that'd work out

I have air 80 on my windshield and 5% on the front doors and 20% on all the back glass. I love it. Keeps the truck nice and cool.

Medical exemption or just running the risk? 5% on the front is DARK.

Probably just running the risk - I'd hate to be on a bike driving next to that dude at night ... one can only guess how horrific the visibility to front side windows is at night with a 5% tint. Significant legal and insurance issue - insurance has an easy way to reduce or fully deny a claim when the operator modified his vehicle so it's not street legal anymore

That's how a 5% tint looks from inside out. In daylight ... good luck seeing anything at night

Yikes... I'll never understand why people do that. I'm all for dark tint because it looks cool and can help with theft deterrent since criminals can't see in. But it's got to be safe. My 15% on the back is perfect in my opinion. It's dark, but you can still see out at night, but it is very limited sight especially if there's any light inside the cab.

At my age the 5% is a little dark for me but I still love it. Every vehicle I own or will own will have at least 20% on the side and 40% on the windshield. I have no trouble seeing out at night. I just wish I'd went 15% on my truck side windows. Our local police department even has tinted windows and windshield so they never bother anyone for dark windows but the state troopers might be a little different. This pic was taken just now. My 40% windshield
