- Interior day, night and exterior view of 50% font windshield ceramic tint, 20% sides and 0% on my model 3
Recently had my windshield replaced AGAIN, and decided to try 50% front - previously tried 70% before.

I tinted my windshield 35%. In my opinion if you're concerned about night time visibility, 50% should be as low as you go.
Night time visibility is really impacted with 35%. More specifically, looking far into the distance is no longer viewable, everything appears darker than what it is. Up close everything is alright.
Also note this, if your head lights struggle with performance I wouldn't go any lower than 50% because even with better head lights, visibility won't get better.
Hope this made sense. 35% is doable. 50% you'll be comfortable.
Why would you do that😂
Good to know thanks for the insight I was trying to decide between 50 and 35% but I'll stick with 50%
Amen. 50% windshield day night is completly unnoticeable looking out. Any darker, your asking for issues at night.
I have 35 and good eyes, still seems dark at night. Still I want to try 20 next time 😆
@@MechInventno dont go 20. its viewable during the day and stuggle at night. and worse is when their is no to veey little night dor bumps and so fourth. its privacy to the fullest day and expecally at night.
Best video yet! Most videos show only from the outside. You actually showed what the percentages looked like from the inside out! Thank You and great job!
Thanks so much for showing how it looks outside and inside. It was very helpful to see the comparison between 20 and 50, and reality when you rolled your window down a bit.
That 50% night shot is extremely accurate.
Just did my Audi S5 with 20% ceramic on the sides and back, 70% on the windshield. Dark enough for privacy, but light enough to not affect visibility or get pulled over.
Yet doesn't the 20% affect the visibility on your back window? Wouldn't it seem you mostly only see car lights instead of more when not driving in the city?
@@sparrowhawk5673 for the rear window, by the time the tint affects visibility, cars have their headlights on in which case the tint doesn’t matter anymore. I could see 20% being an issue on the windshield, or potentially the front sides though, especially if your vision isn’t good.
@@Julian-zc9vm thanks for the feedback
Here in IL for trucks we can have whatever we want on our rear windows. I went 15% all around ( makes the rears about 5% looking in but still fine visabilty looking out) with high quality ceramic 15% on the fronts (llumar ctx) didn't look dark enough. 50% windshield put it right on the sweet spot for front window visabilty. Use high quality ceramic 50% on your 50% and it looks when driving like nothing is there, yet you get a mild bump of darkness looking in AND all the benefits of having your biggest piece of glass tinted (UV, glare, heat reduction, interior protection etc) 15% all around with the windshield 50% is perfect combo if your using good quaulty tint. Doesn't look gheto 5% tint which will get you pulled over in many states, but adds the perfect amount of privacy and more importantly night time drivability
This what im thinking about getting for my 2019 mazda6 I have 15% sides and rear and a 5% sun strip on front windshield, thinking about throwing the 70/50% on top of that
@@almightyty4088 wish they made a 40%, 50% is littlery unnoticeable day and night looking out the windshield. The only time It really darkens up looking from the front is when it's overcast. Other than that. It's not ever that noticeable. You would have to know what a 50% windshield looks like. I would not go any darker as its a immediate ticket around here as it gives it away immediately. Thinking about putting 50% on top of my 15 in front just to get it right around 10 vlt. On my front windows. Wish I went 5% (legal in IL on trucks) on all rear windows for more light protection for my family. Another layer of 15 or just do 5% over again. Overall really happy with 15% all around and 50% windshield. Definitely getting a 5% windshield brow probably 6-8 inches.
I’ll be getting the 50% on my car too!
Just look on 202 or 101… A ton are rocking windshield tint. Can you blame them? It’s hot 🥵 af out in AZ. Furthermore, I believe the window tint law needs to be 20% up front windows instead of 33%! They also need to allow 50% windshield tint. I would totally pass that if I was Governor. Called the “Freedom of UV Protection Act”.
This is the video I needed to make the choice. Thank you.
Watching this from Scottsdale AZ and now I'm sold on getting 50% on my m3 , thanks man!
nice. yeah im prob never going back!
Watching from Mesa hate people staring😂😂
Im thinking about 40 😂
I have a Kia Soul and I just got 20% on the front sides to match the factory tint on the back and I got 50% on the windshield. It's only been a week since I got the job done, and so far so good! I've ridden past a few cops and no one bothers me. I should be fine as long as I don't drive like a bat out of hell lol 🤣 I work night shift and have no problems seeing unless it's a car with their headlights out or really dim coming up next to me.
Still good
I like 70% in the front, 30% in the back. Nice balance of visibility and sun protection.
35 front 5 back for mine
I went from 50 to 35% with a 5% visor halfway down my windshield and 5 all way around. I'll say 50 isn't much IF you HAVE great eye sight
Yes agreed
Just wear glasses if needed lol
Had 70% on my truck windshield with 5% around the rest. 70% is hard to tell there's even any tint at all (aside from the big help with heat).
Had to replace windshield (thanks, rocks on AZ freeway) so getting 50% in about 2 hrs. :) 👋from down in Gilbert!
I have 5% on my front two windows of my truck and 5% on factory backs. I was thinking about going 70% on the windshield since everything else is dark. You regret it and prefer 50%?
@@davidcasanova1839does it make it darker going 70% front windshield?
Did this today, also in SFL. Cannot believe I waited so long. I will always have windshield tinted moving forward, 50%!
@@ahogan7491 🙌🙌
Just did 15% and 50% on front windshield. You can tell it's tinted but you can see just fine at night. No glare from headlights sun is not as bad.
awesome
You think you at risk of getting pulled over or have you?
I ended up going with 35% on my Malibu ceramic and I love it
we need to change the laws.....
Yes darker tint is needed in the desert!
This just helped me decide between 70 and 50. Thanks!
I would not consider 70 as it's almost pointless. 50% or 35% is that way to go
@@MrMcIntyre1220 70% is basically what windows are stock, hardly any tint
@@MrMcIntyre1220
I use 70%. I like it because it’s not noticeable so I won’t get pulled over. Keeps cabin really cool though. On my dads Tesla it keeps the tablet really cool.
In California, I don't want to risk going with 50% , looks dope af, but 70% I'm going with. My goal is heat reduction, and 3m crystalline will do the trick to reduce heat.
@@brandonflores7239 yeah be careful but take into consideration the rest of your tint. i got 5% all around and 35% on the windshield and the windshield is DARK ASF. darker than i expected. everyone thinks its 15/20. so see if u can see what its like with all the other windows tinted first. in my case i wasnt there so i didnt know itd be that dark til 2 late
This was an amazing comparison and demonstration! Thanks for this! I just put my deposit down on PPF and ceramic IR tint. Went in with the intention of getting 70% on the windshield of my Model Y and they convinced me to opt for 50% as a number of the Tesla's they had in shop had it and it looked pretty good, but I was worried about how it would look at night time.
Honestly 70% is a waste if you weren't just getting it for actual benefits of tint besides privacy. 50% is a pretty good compromise. Wish a company would provide a 40-45%. 35 on windshield is too dark at night, but 50 during the day you can barely notice it unless the rest of your vehicle has medium level tint. I did 15% ceramic ctx llumar all around, 50% on windshield and it's the perfect compromise of privacy and visabilty without being in constant alert. 50% windshield with high quality tint virtually zero loss of visabilty looking out but you get a slight dark increase to your cabin and other windows.
@@jmabs5096 that's what I ended up going with... 15% all around 3M Ceramic IR, 50% on the roof, and 50% 3M crystalline on the windshield. So bright inside the car, but looks nice and dark from the outside.
This is the best review for window tinting . Thanks from NC
I like it. I'm going 50% on the windshield, 5% on the other windows when I get my new car.
You'll regret it and and wish you did 35%
No one asked
i’m doing the same
@@Rw.M240 I did. I asked
@@Rw.M240 weak ass BMW 🤡
My eyesight is 20/10 (from 20ft actual it appears 10ft to Me) 20/20 is normal - I don’t think I’d have an issue seeing Im just concerned with the likelihood of getting pulled over
This looks really good. Looks like 50% is the sweet spot for windshield.
I've been tinting my vehicles for decades and recently did my latest Model 3 with 3M Ceramic IR. Just a word of caution...the Ceramic IR film looks WAYYY lighter than other brands and types and more blue-ish and this is with my black interior. I did 50% on the windshield and 35% on the sides and rear and honestly wish I went darker like the 25% or 30%. I had Lumar Pinnacle 40% ceramic on my last car and this 35% looks lighter which is weird. Oh well....lesson learned, not all film is comparable by %.
The ceramic IR has a weird and higher VLT than the percent it claims. For ex. I did IR35 3m windshield tint and the picture showing info about all the tint percentages says it has a 45% VLT. Supposedly according to my tint guy, 3’ does it like this so when the film is combined on top of the factory shade, it’s a true %.
Yea I had 20% llumar atc (basic dyed tint) it looks darker than their ctx ceramic at the same level. The benefits of ceramic is worth the extra money. Going to get my Tacoma 15% ceramic all around with 50% windshield! Without the windshield tint, 15% looks like 30% and with it actually makes it looks darker. I didn't want 5% because it's dangerous at night. This combo negates that risk with good viability but during the day, most of the cabin is dark enough so you can eat your boogers without too much risk of folks judging you 😂😂😂😂jkjk
I agree. I have a model Y and did 3M ceramic IR 25% on the side and I think it looks amazing however I swear it has the same darkness of my precious car tint which was 3M 35% color stable.
I also agree with it being a slightly more bluish tint. Not visible however when compared to factory tint you can tell the factory tint has a more yellow tone to it.
Getting 3M ceramic IR on my windshield this week and can’t decide between 50% or 70%. I was going to go for 70% but after your point I may do 50%. No wonder the tint guy told me “15% ceramic IR compares to 20% color stable”. Now I see.
@@NJ-750 Yeah, no regrets with 50% on the windshield. Find myself using my sun glasses less during the day unless driving into direct sun because of it, yet still decent at night.
Thanks!! Your videos helped me decide what tint to get!!
For my M3P, I went with 70% windshield and 70% top window, 50% back window and 20% (4) side windows. Definitely improves on heat and sun glare.
50% back window? what the heck
@@paladin3116so is that too much?
@@sparrowhawk5673 No it's just weird to have a lighter rear window than the sides lol
Wow. 50 is legit! Thanks for sharing. Think I’m going with this for sure.
Great video. I'm pretty sold on 50% on front. We purchased a vehicle that had 30% on the front and it's not really too bad even at night, great in the day....a little dark at night. 50 should be great while providing some heat protecting during the day.
Yep 50 imo is perfect
Very helpful, thank you brother! Hello from Miami, FL
Just got my 2022 Mustang tinted 🤙🏻 15 all the way around and 30 on the front windshield. Definitely not the greatest at night but than again I don’t really drive at night so well worth it. The car stays way cooler during the day.
I will say 50% at night when it’s pouring rain if you don’t have good lights it’ll be a little rough in darker areas also but with streetlights will always be fine, personally I wouldn’t go any lower if you’re vision isn’t 20/20 during the day is never a concern and on gloomy days it makes the car look really good & it’s actually relatively hard to see in (which I like) I also have very sensitive eyes so it did help me a lot because I’ve had times where I would have to pull over for a bit because of that without it.
hey so i don’t have 20/20 vision and i was thinking of the 50% windshield would work for me at night , so did the 50% work out good for you?
@@slimigo321 I personally feel its the perfect middle ground it will be noticeably darker at night and in certain conditions of course but just be more aware and mindful during storms and driving in non well lit areas etc at night. Personally my car has very bright leds and your eyes adjust but if you ever have visibility issues now I wouldn't suggest it, I had to get another car and I tinted it 50% again only difference is this time I got ceramic.
@@slimigo321 I had 50% on my last car and it didn't really affect my visibility too much at all at night. If you already have issues driving in the rain or at when it's dark, however, then 50% will probably make it a tad bit harder for you to see.
@@wesleym1533 i ended up getting 50% and it’s clear as day lol im glad i went with it
@@slimigo321 Figured lol. I been thinking about doing 35% or 50% on windshield & 15% rest of car.
Great vid.
Ty
U helped me make up my mind. 50/50 on da windshield
great video especially at the end nice comparisons.
I wonder how that 50% would look with the white interior
Definitely less dark!
Oh my god I realized this was Arizona as soon as you went on the highway lmao
If you're driving in a really dark area can you still see out the windshield/ see pedestrians? I like the look of the 50% on the windshield but I don't want it to make driving at night a hazard
it's a little harder but yes can see
Of course you can still see wear glasses I got 20 percent on mine and don’t use glasses and see perfectly fine.. only problem would be with the cops
50% is ok but if you get 20% it'll be hard. 35% is still ok but 50% is much easier at night and in rain
Yesterday morning I got 20% all sides including my windshield. 20% was great during the day and look awesome, but at night it was too dark for me. I mean I could drive in it, but I can tell it can pose a hazard when it comes to pedestrians while making turns, etc. Also can't forget when it snows and rain. So this morning I went back to the shop and got 50%. I was tempted with 35% but watched other videos on YT. And 35% also looked dark at night. 50% still look mean. Especially if you have all black interior which I have. You can't see the driver or passenger faces. bright clothing is barley seen. let me stop ranting 😆
50% was way to light for me. Getting 35% installed soon.
It’s not hard at all to see at night. If you’re scared about the cops then go with 50%
Dude good video thanks for the Info 👍👍
I just got my windows tinted with Xpel Prime Plus (IR) with 50% windshield, and 20% for all other windows, except moonroof 5%. I'm really happy with how it looks, when I'm outside the car looking at it. Looking from the inside, to the outside, the sides and rear are pretty dark. And driving at night, I'll need to take some time getting use to how it looks out the sides and back. But, the windshield is surprisingly lighter then I would expect during the day As well as at night. It looks like your setup in your video. Though, maybe they goofed and did my front with 70%? I should double check just with the tint place to make sure.
Also, my 2022 Subaru's WRX GT's windows came partially tinted. Like it's in the glass, from the manufacture. Very faint on the driver and passenger. A tiny bit more for the windows behind it. The Xpel film is now onto of the glass and helps make most of the windows darker. That could be why the windshield looks as light as it is. For that had no tint in the glass from the manufacture. And now supposedly has 50% on it. Looking like how yours is.
Your sunroof will get a crack eventually...be carefull
I have 5 percent tint all around my car.. if I tint the windshield 50 percent do you think it’ll make the 2 front windows darker?
yes@@Sameerkhan-em7md
So whats it like when your driving in the middle of no where at night?
I notice most people live in the cities for these. Yet I have to watch out for animals that come on the road and want to make sure I can see them comming from the sides if with 50%
@@sparrowhawk5673 good question. I'm in the city. I am sometimes in area with no street lighting and is very dark. I was recently in a dark alley, with no lighting. Let me tell you what that was like. With the headlights on, there are no issues with seeing things out the front windshield that is at 55%. I previously said it was 50%. But for Xpel IR it's really 55%. My '22 WRX has LED lighting, and it's very bright and focused. So much more brighter than non LED headlights. My sides and rear windows are at 20%. It's a tad bit darker due to the OEM windows having a very slight dark tint built into the glass for the sides and rear. It's impossible to really safely see things out those windows in this situation. Being able to safely see a pedestrain or animal out those windows is definitely issue. My car has a rear facing camera, with light. Using that, I can see what is behind me when I'm backing up at a slow speed. Another option is I can roll down my driver and passenger windows when I need to see things to the sides.
So when I'm driving at normal speed in a dark area, I can easily see anything that's walking in my path. If I have to stop, or drive very slowly, then I need to pay extra attention for people/bicycles/dogs that may pass me on my left or right side. So I don't steer/drift into them. I usually roll down the windows for that.
Camera compensates for ambient light so to get a real gauge it HAS to be seen in person. 50% on a windshield is WAY too dark @ night. Distance vision is severely compromised.
it looks really dark cause you have a black car with a dark interior. And the 20% all around makes the car look darker inside also
Great video straight to the point
Thanks for this!
He said, “that’s the zero” 😂
I think you mean that’s 100 percent
@@CarlosFlores-xu6km 😅😅
I love the cool look.Howev, I have vision issues and like to see and be seen, so I'll get either 50 or 70%. God bless. 🙏😂😎
So are you still satisfied with 50 on windshield for night time driving? What about on the highway between states where there isn't a lot of lighting?
yeah I still am satisfied. i would get 50% again. The tesla headlights are good enough where supplemental light isnt available. Granted I have 20/20 vision
I have 5% in the rear, and 20% on the front side windows, I am really contemplating getting 50% on the windshield, my only concern would be pulling up at a stop sign, on a 4 way intersection and see a cop.
Did you end up going with it because I have the same window tint as you?
@@ChrisBryjaever get pulled over by a cop yet?
Thank you very straight forward
W these new cars having eye burning bright ass headlights now a days we need damn near need 50% windshields
I will never go back if I can help it. sometimes I wish they were transition type tint that went to 70 or 100% at night and even darker say 30% during Dat
in your case we need it specifically for bright headlights 😅
I’m watching this video as my 2024 WRB WRX I just got is getting tinted with Llumar IRX Ceramic 15% all around and 50% windshield. I hope I like it as I normally go 15% all around but this is the first time getting the windshield tinted. My eyesight is not too great. What are your thoughts on this combo?
Awesome. Should be good to go and look great.
Generally would speak w your optometrist about night driving and what lenses might make sense.
I have 20 20 vision so I can't put myself in your shoes though can say things will look slightly darker at night.
With 50% on the front windshield can u be seen thought the outside at night? I have 35% on my front windshield and I can’t be seen through the outside at night
A little
Where the tint ends around the review mirror camera, is it obvious with that area having no tint. Does it look funny? Thinking about getting my model s front windshield done but still on the fence. Not sure how it would look with again that area on the windshield not having tint and also having that much water anywhere near that area when its being installed. Is it worth the risk.
Have you ever dented your windshield after getting the tint applied? What did you do? Sounds like need to pay to get tint replaced when replacing windshield too
@@catface875 yes. If tint was applied before the damage then insurance pays for the tint.
Depending on who does the tint or if the glass repair shop has the service in house will give you an idea of timing.
I have a tint guy and has my glass replaced first and then tint guy tinted later.
@@RobertSchmitt how often do you have the windshield replaced? Under what conditions? How bad do you let it get? Doesn't it jack up your insurance price?
Thanks for the video it was much needed but have you gotten pulled over for it?
have not!
Great vid man, thanks!
Hotty Toddy
Does it help to reduce glare from the sun and other peoples headlights? Im thinking of tinting my windows like this because Im sick of everyone disorienting me with their bright a*s LED lights But I also dont want to go too dark this seems perfect.
Maybe. I have 35 on my windshield and when the sun is directly infront of me there still is a tad bit of glare but it's fine for headlights so 50% might be a lil worse
that is clean. Would u know what tint film brand was used ?
suntek
Thanks for posting this. If you wear polarized sunglasses, do you get any banding when looking through the windshield with this (or the 70% you had before)?
If by banding you mean seeing the coating layers then yep!
@@RobertSchmitt It's a bunch of horizontal/diagonal lines that appear as darker and lighter areas, I have noticed this on tinted side window, but it would obviously be very distracting to drive with this on the windshield. I was just wondering if it occurred with a light ceramic tint on windshields.
@@tehshins I don't notice this specifically. Just the coatings. like an oil spill haze
@@RobertSchmitt Gotcha, thanks! That's encouraging :)
any issues seeing the main screen when wearing polarized glasses?
Im thinking 5 person back and fronts and 50 front windshield
Looks good, any issues from cops for the tinted windshield so far?
none. 🙏
Thank you for making this video !!! I live in Phoenix, when the refresh comes out I'm getting the performance M3 !!! I can't wait.
With the 50 percent on windshield do you notice a difference in terms of heat in the car ? I'm thinking about getting this as I've never had my windshield done before with 5 percent all the way around color silver 😎
yeah, there's a difference especially on the front dash
I would and wil do 50 again.
Love it bro
I ran this setup for 7 months before I got a ticket, I may go 15 all around and 35 on the windshield next
Best 7 months ever? 😁
@@RobertSchmitt Not a single regret 😎
Would you say the the heat blocking results any different the 50% or 70%?
not noticeable . overall it feels about 50% I see various claims by different sites and articles but none reference a formal study with the science to back it up
I’m in Queen Creek can I come see it in person? I just got a MYP and I’m cooking in a fishbowl. I’m scheduled for next Thursday but need to pick a windshield tint.
Just made an appointment for 50% ceramic windshield tint. I have 35% ceramic on all the other windows and back windows right now. I think 50% will be perfect for the front windshield after watching your video. Mainly
The night time part I was curious about visibility
nice. you're going to love it
How are you liking your 50% windshield tint?
It’s perfect. Just enough to look dark on the outside but not too much. And inside you can barely tell it’s there. 50% is perfect. I also went darker around the rest of the car with 15% and even 5% on the rear quarter windows and it looks so good. I also have a 15% sun visor that comes to 7.5% because it’s over the 50% windshield tint
Id suggest 70% LT, 50% is decent but a bit too dark at night.
Do you have a paint protection film or ceramic? Paint looks amazing
Both.
Ppf front then ceramic coat for the body.
I wish you would have posted of what it looks like when driving in the middle of nowhere with no lights.
Oh good idea. Next time in that situation I'll record.
Just headlights right?
@@RobertSchmitt yes. I often drive in the country sides or forest so barely any street lights. Good visualization from the side windows helps to avoid comming animals. 😁. Thanks for the video
What does it look like with polarized glasses tho?
you can see different coatings on the glass. def drivable but distracting. almost like seeing a rainbow oil stain in the water on the ground
You were at Thomas and the 51 and said you were in Scottsdale AZ. Far from it! Lol
Do you mind sharing which non polarized ray ban sunglasses you have?
These (looks like they are on sale) amzn.to/433uQvO
I have 15 on rear windshield, and 35 all around. Still debating on getting the windshield done, might do 60 if I can find a place who has it
if you do front, you won't regret it! insurance also covers it with tint if it gets damaged if you have full glass coverage (at least on my policy it does).
Great video thanks
My car looks beautiful I have 50 in the front the rest 35 at night it looks darker
Great video! What do you think of doing Xpel 15% on all windows (no roof tint) and 50% on the windshield in a Model S w\Black Int. I'm definitely going with the 15% on all windows but am debating weather to go with 70% vs 50% on the windshield. Thanks

Does 50% ceramic tint has a bluish color when driving under the sun and 70% has charcoal gray color? Also is the ceramic tint make it hazy during daytime driving?
does not for me. installer used suntek brand
@@RobertSchmitt Thank you for replying
Hi~ is your windshield tint covered on the sensor? I plan to do 70% tint. Just afraid if there is any issue.
It is. No issue
@@RobertSchmitt thank you very much~
Hmm... I’m getting 5% all around and maybe 50 or 80%
In Florida, I know of nobody that's got pulled over for a fully dark tinted windshield..I know it's illegal, the laws haven't changed..but I see more cars with a fully dark tinted windshield..are they risking it? Or maybe the laws did change?..can anyone help with this topic?
yeah they are risking. the laws in florida vary depending on suv vs passenger car
"Tint darkness for sedans:
Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side windows: Must allow more than 28% of light in.
Back Side windows: Must allow more than 15% of light in.
Rear Window: Must allow more than 15% of light in.
Tint darkness for SUV and vans:
Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side windows: Must allow more than 28% of light in.
Back Side windows: Must allow more than 6% of light in.
Rear Window: Must allow more than 6% of light in.
Window tint reflection in Florida
Window tint can reflect incoming light and reduce glare and heat. Florida window tint law permits a certain window reflection when using a tint so make sure you pay attention to this as well.
Tint reflection for sedans:
Front Side windows: Must not be more than 25% reflective.
Back Side windows: Must not be more than 35% reflective."
Got 50 for the windshield and 35 for the rest
👍Thank you!
im thinking about 50 front 20 sides 30 back and 50 is legal where im at
should look great
how about the sunroof? what do you reccomend? please let me know, thanks
roof is tinted already from factory with uv protection.
rear section I go 20%
So do you like the 70% or 50% better?
50!
Hey Robert, Have you been stopped by police for the last 50% tint since you got it ??
have not! 🤞
Hey bro i have all my windows at 35% except the front. The front im doing 50% right now and a strip at the top do you think im good ? @RobertSchmitt
Would like to inquire if your 50 is the normal brownish hue or is it the bluish hue? Sorry, can’t tell from the video too much. I ran 70 and loved the dark bluish look it had, but wanted to go darker. Went with 50 but not a fan of that brownish/tan hue looking out or in. I do see some folks with a 55 that looks more blue from their vids so wanted to ask. Thanks in advance!
for me, more blue/neutral. i do not get any brown look. im thinking the brand/material may also play a factor here
@@RobertSchmitt Cool! What brand is the 50 you currently have, if you don’t mind me asking? Thanks!

I got Xpel XR Plus 70 on windshield which has a blue hue. Easy on eyes, no sunglasses, major heat reduction.
Do Polarized prescription sunglasses not work with this?
you can wear them. it may be annoying though as you'll see the coatings a bit ruclips.net/user/shortsKg7OSKfCfew?feature=share
Another broken windshield? How many times has your windshield broken and why? lol
It was 4 times across 2 cars in a about 20 months and my insurance dropped me 😭😅
A string of bad luck in Arizona where a ton of rocks hit windshield because so much of the landscape here and homes is small rocks that get caught in tires and brought into the freeway
Luckily it's been almost 2 years on this windshield and have 2 filled chips but have not replaced it yet!
All the streetlights don't give an idea of out in the country, and halogens might make it harder to see with this too. But otherwise great video
What window film tint did you use?
Suntek
Have you noticed a difference with the 50 percent tint ? I live in Phoenix, probably will get it when I get the performance M3 refresh
Does it help with heat in the summer??
@@cellman1829 yeah very much so.
1. with visibility during the sunny day
2. the dash area is warm vs very hot
you can get 70% that blocks the same amount of heat as 5%
@@ytb13I saw somebody do the temperature test on 50% vs 70% and the difference was only 1 degree on the dashboard. I'm definitely going with 70%.
@@jpizel1070 The visability is a lot different though. I had 70 was the same as clear replaced with 50% and it actually adds some privacy. Inside visability is just fine. Had cops go by but haven't stopped me
Is this legal? Cause I think in my state a 6 inch strip is only legal
no it's not legal. it's not really enforced so I went with it. almost like going 67 mph in a 65 :)
@@RobertSchmitt is that really a great comparison? I want to tint the windows on my Tesla as well lol
Have the cops pulled you over for the tint?
@@theleague383 haha unsure. I have never been pulled over by a cop in az for my tint. many drive with near limo tint around here. none of my friends have either.
I drive mainly within the loop
incredible
Did you get llumar tint on your vehicle?
suntek
I got llumar on mine. 50% and llumar owns suntek if im not mistaken so I think you'll be good with either or.
Looks like Az but tints are nice
20% tints at night with no lights around and you are nearly blind! Would not suggest if you drive at night in any areas that don't have street lights or lights in general.
i got 70% i really wish i went with 50%
😔 next time!
@@RobertSchmitti went with 40% instead lol
Any titnt on the Roof Glass?
