Haha yeah, I think you are overthinking it a bit! Honestly, go with the strip on the windshield and you will be plenty happy. It makes a huge difference, especially if you are in FL or other sunny states. I barely need to use my visor!

But I would also suggest not getting the front windshield tinted just because at night it's not a good idea and what Wolf 335 and Westchester335i said. If an accident happens, your screwed. Just like with if someone has tinted tail lights. Someone rear ends you, you will end up paying for everything...
Sounds good brother! Now to find a shop that will do just that part!

Any tint shop will do a strip for you relatively cheap. $10-$20

I assume black interior, the front looks much darker than 50%, looks clean though.

yes black interior. 50% on the windshield looks very darker, your right. the tint shop had to talk me out of going with my original plan of 35%

You did 50 on the windshield?

I still feel like thats too dark, pretty sure most states are 75-90. That dark would make me weary.

i think i confused you before lol, i have 20% all around then 50% on the windshield

but yes, from the inside looking out, its perfect, cuts down on a lot of glare & i rarely use my sun visors anymore. plus its gives me that extra sense of privacy. its totally illegal in my state but its one of those things that cops only mess with you unless they're bored. even when i do get pulled over, a simple showing of my badge & work i.d, & then i'm own my way. perks of the job i guess.
