I took my car to the shop to have the clear bra installed. I decided to also put some window tinting in. I have never had a car with tinted windows after market. They're talking about doing 35% on the side windows and 20% on the rear window. Does anybody have any comments regarding that? Is 35% too much on the driver side window to achieve good visibility? Thanks for the response

I’m not sure where you live, however in North Carolina 35% on the driver and passenger window is the legal limit...now are mine slightly darker???.... possibly, but definitely would not go any darker than 20%. At dusk or dawn, when someone is not running with their headlights it can be difficult to see them, especially if you’re pulling out onto a high-speed highway with a high closure rate. Actually, I’ve gotten into the habit at night of rolling down my window slightly as an added measure of precaution when pulling out onto a high-speed Highway from a dead stop. It always amazes me the number of people that don’t run with their headlights when it’s nearly dark ... Good Luck!!!! JB
Mine with 50% all around. These pics probably exaggerate the darkness of it somewhat because they’re intentionally underexposed a bit to make the contrast and saturation pop, and I think I also used a polarized.
Prior to this I had never had windows tinted on any car I’ve had. I like it and haven’t found it a problem at all for visibility, even at night. Normally without tinting I have to wear a ball cap and sunglasses on sunny days to avoid eye strain and glare. But not now.
We tint everything here in AZ for heat reasons. Usually 35 around the car. A lot of people even tint the windshield (lightest color, but UV protection) even though it is illegal. It helps a ton on heat.
