50% tint on the front windshield cmes like if yuh have no tint at all and driving in the night is not a problem at all. If I don't tell people my windshield tinted they won't know. I'm tempted to go 35% but the rest of my car is 5% and I doh like to have to deal with police so I think I will leave it 50 %.

*jumping in late* but IMHO, d legal limit for tint depend on how d police feeling that day. Serious.
Had 35% all around a hilux.Straight down the front.You standing 10 feet away from the van and could see straight through and the make we peel the entire van.
The interior is a light grey.

On the b13 we had, it was 20% right through and black interior.(can only see if your face plaster to the glass) and that never get strip in no roadblock.

Hence my conclusion, it depends on the way they feeling. cause it dont have no light meter or nothing that they does test with.

And yeah...............
if you go 35% down the front, once it hit like 6:00 and thing it does give some problems to see

i always get my tint rip and the option of a ticket, but if u settle for a ticket u still have to rip your tint of. thats just my experience 5% around (G5) 35% infront.
it kinda hard to rip tint of in the hot sun especially early in the morning before u reach to work but say what u have a good reason for reachin to work late lol Very Happy
