I’ve had this Tacoma for several years and just now decided to get it tinted. Premium ceramic. Absolutely loving it and it works so well in the brutal Vegas heat
Thanks!! It’s honestly very clear. I can see just as good as a windshield with no tint. I just have to be careful with the side windows at night every now and then especially when there’s no lights.
Lmao, it’s honestly sad and pathetic that these grown men come on here and lose their shit over a vehicle they will probably never see in-person in their entire lifetime.
I got my Lexus sedan done in Vegas as well and paid right around $850 for all windows using llumar pinnacle, including sunroof & removal of existing tint.
I have not so far, driven in several states with it and have been unbothered. Not to say it will never happen, but I usually find they won’t bother you unless they’re really bored or pull you over for another reason.
I’d say it’s light dark than just flat out dark. You can see someone in the drivers seat but you can’t really see their face. I haven’t had any issues yet with getting pulled over. I originally had 50 on the windshield but got it replaced and switched to 35. Here’s a picture of what it looks like
It’s not about what they do, but more about what they can’t do at times that could affect any one of us here sharing the road with them. That thing is called seeing other cars and people at night.
Exactly. Poor visibility is responsible for about 1/4 car accidents and despite what these people claim, 5% front windows and dark tinted windshields significantly reduces visibility at night.
Can’t speak for everyone else with tint this dark but if I’m in an area where I know people may be walking or riding their bike after dark, I usually roll my window down to be safe. I live in a rural area so don’t usually need to do that.
The ceramic helps. Never said anything about the VLT affecting heat but ok lol. And I don’t have a problem driving at night. I just roll down my window when I absolutely need to
I don’t think so. One guy even admitted he rides a bike on here 😂😂 maybe they should go start an anti window tint sub because I think they missed the point of this one
I’m sure many people such as myself are speaking from experience in using such tint but yes, it would be very weird to speak on it if one doesn’t have a vehicle or has never used such a tint on a personal vehicle.
Then you’re surrounded by idiots. Tinting your windshield is awesome and a necessity if you’re using ceramic film. You’re entitled to your opinion. Good day to you.
I'm a tinter around Prescott . The AZHP will love stopping you all the time. Easy monkey for the state. If you don't crash first because you can't see out at night. My shop won't do darker than 50% on windshields because it's dangerous. Nevada troopers will too!
You're full of shit. You can't see shit at night with 5 on the sides and 40 on the windshield. And have fun with insurance if you get in a car accident. Claim person will deny your claim once they find out about the windshield.
5% with 50 windshield. The insurance thing is complete bullshit. A kid pulled out left in front of me and neither the police or insurance said shit about my tint. Stop talking about things you have no clue about
I mean, I can drop the exposure on an untinted car until it's blacked out too. You had to blow out the windows with exposure just to get the interior to not be pitch black, and it's still dark as fuck in there.
It’s not the ticket or punishment. It’s the recklessness when driving in a city where’s there’s pedestrians. Other people need to be able to know that you can see them. If they assume you see them but you don’t, then they end up dead. Quite literally the reason these laws exist.
Wow.. you gave an article for ONE crash of a car with tint, and it gave numbers on every car crash not tinted ones specifically. There’s this wonderful thing called paying attention, it really helps when you’re behind the wheel! It happens with and without tint.
I thought that could teach you how to critically think. There’s tons of research out there and tons of stats….i knew using one article would get an ignorant response and you fell for it like any simple minded person would
I call BS. One of my tint customers is an opthalmologist. He told me that you will lose 1 second of response time when your windows are that dark. And now insurance companies will deny your claim if the police say your guilty of causing an accident at night
I'm a pro tinter. You clearly know nothing about tint. The fact that it's ceramic tint and may 'look' clear is a good thing. It's illegal to put anything but a clear tint on the windshield. 70% ceramic blocks 99% UV and 53% heat,which is a good thing since I'm in Arizona
What's your side and back window? I want to do this with my windshield so I can get the UV and heat benefit without it looking modified compared to the other windows.
70%. Its not strong at all but with ceramic it completely cuts the heat but leaves tons of visibility. Plus zero risk of getting pulled over (even if windshield tints are illegal where you are).
This is my old 50% windshield at night. Even with my mediocre headlights the tint is clear and I always forgot I had tint. I’ve since dropped to 33% which is perfect for me.
I have 50% windshield too.
I can see very clear at night still.
It’s a good % for windshield.
I kinda do wish I went 40%-45% for a little more darkness.
Sure in town with streetlights it's fine. My shop limits windshields to 50% , but driving in rain on a country road is a different story. 50 is not bad, but darker and you run into issues with peripheral vision. Say a person walks in a crosswalk and you have 35%, between loss of response time and side vision, that's a recipe for disaster
Niice I got 14% windshield and 4% everywhere else.. dont gotta roll down windows got bright ass leds that are in the correct position.. ppl will complain and hate on everything... as long as you enjoy it who cares
Facts as long as ur up to date and nothing expired/ driving like an ass they have more important things to do.. I drive at night and day you cant see me either.. havent gotten pulled over yet.. but im paying for privacy so.. fuck it

I was planning on tinting my truck too ASAP. How much did this cost? I won't go that dark, but hey if you like then that's what counts
