    What!? LMAO thats the most backwards thing I have heard in the past 38 hours. You just tinted 95% of your windows and then you say you prefer looking through clean glass!? haha!

    Its great that you have owned so many cars in your lifetime. Im happy for you, regardless, there are many vehicle owners whom have tinted their windshields tinted. Hell, I got the idea for it in another thread. lol

    As for the legality, you tint job, is just as illegal as mine will be once it is done. In all actuality, yours will look darker because of the tint you put on your rear window.

    LOL....backwards? interesting logic, but i tend to look thru the front the majority of time when driving. you only look thru rears and sides at glances, so your thinking is far from the norm.

    I was ticketed here in NY state for 20% before on sides. The cop gave me a tip telling me they never ticket for 35% round here, and they let 35% slide. But there is no way they would ever let a windshield go. Heck I dont even know of any tinters that would even do a front except backyard tinters. The bigger companys would never allow it.

    When you drive at night, and end up hitting something, or god forbid someone, you are open to litigation.

    But as you said, anyone can do anything....tinting sides and rears are legal, and for the most part 35% is accepted in many states and even locally they let it go. But tinting a front is never legal, and the difference is you have to see thru your front when driving at night.

    But its up to you...killing someone to save a couple of pennies in fuel or KW of battery to run AC is something I would not do.

    good luck with state inspections when they look at it, and remove/install sticker.

    Your being a hypocrite and I really dont feel like arguing with you.

    Enjoy your new car, your totally 100% legal tint, and your asinine opinions.

    I just use the START time. Set its time to 2-1/2 hr before you want to drive.
    Also get a Kill-A-Watt from Amazon to track your kWh. $20.
    Verify the Amps are Zero to confirm that it charged in the 2-1/2 hrs.

    Any Questions, just ask.

    Looks great. Did you trim your front plate? Looks rounded.
