I drive too many back roads to want anything on my windshield to make it darker. I have 5% on the back, 20% on the sides, and my it's good enough to for me on keeping the truck cool.

Grab a sun shade guys!


(It looks soooo good though)

You just missed me. I was on 65 all the way through Tennessee yesterday as I was coming back from Cinci.

If anyone really thinks that having tint on your windshield automatically means you can't see what's in front of you, then the role of dumb *** may be the opposite of what was presented....

Can't see and reduced visibility are 2 different things. I'm not against the tint, I just don't want it on my truck. I worked too hard on adding extra lights and adding HIDs to them so I could see better. The tint just seems like a step backwards for me. If I lived closer to the city or just never drove out in BFE I'd be all over it, because it looks great

Was just reading up on this thread. Been thinking of tinting mine 35% or 50%. People.. quit the windshield tint rant my god, stfu. If you think 35% tint means you cant see anything in front of you.. well then you have not seen 35% on a window!! have you? idiot! Ok I can agree with that comment if some moron is putting 15% on their windsheild.. Also to 1st page post "sport spoiler guy" YES, 35 and 50% does greatly reduce heat, glare and sun rays.. good tints blocks out 99% UV rays, know what your talking about before making unsupported facts of just simple opinions.

Your a idiot. And when u get into a accident, i hope the person notices the tint and sues you and takes you're truck so u won't post here anymore.

Tinting the windshield on a street car is idiotic and stupid.
