My best friend tinted my windshield today at Best Buy in the install bay we work in. I have a 2011 Axis A22. I had him do it at 5% VLT. My car is 15% on the front and 5% in the back. I was leery with the visibility; however, I think I will like it. So my question is what do you guys have? Here is mine.

i wanted to tint mine. shortly after i planned to have it tinted i hauled (40+mph) passed a big log about 20' to my left side. i decided i needed as much visibility as i can get since i didnt see it until we passed it.


would have gone just as dark tho.

I did 20% on ours. If I had to do it over again, I probably would have gone with 35%. I think darker looks nicer, but even the 20% is hard to see out of in some situations.

I had 5% on my Supra and loved it, it looked great and was nice when there was a glare on the water.
