Looks good! How's the visibility at night with the 50% on the windshield? Can you post some night pics?

Yes sir!

And from the outside during the day. What are your tint laws in your state? I live in TX and they aren't very lenient. 🙄

You tinted the windshield?????? Are you serious? If you were to run into my family at night because you have your windshield tinted we wouldn’t need police or ambulance.

Holy crap! Looks nice, but I'm rather surprised any state allows 50% windshield.

People don't realize how little 50% affects visibility, I have 80% ceramic on my current car and you can't tell.

it's technically not legal but they can't really prove it's tinted when the film is so light, 50% is nothing.

Is it not the case that lower numbers are darker?

Yes. The number represents the amount of light transfer, or something along those lines. 15% would mean only 15% light comes through... So very dark.

correct, its more of a protection from harmful UV rays and to stay cool by reducing heat in the summer time.
