It's illegal in more states (CA).

Here in Michigan you can tint the front windshield the top 4" or the original tint mark, but can't exceed something like 4". Front side windows, you can only tint the top 4-5", the rest of the window can have NO tint. Rest of the car, I have not been able to find any restrictions. I have not seen any cars that have a 4" stip on the front side windows, most are just left plain.

Yes it looks stupid.

I've seen one car with the 4inch strip from the top on the two front side windows, it looked very stupid. Here in MI every single Land Rover I've seen has what looks like 20% on the front two windows and that's what got me to thinking why not just do the WS 50% and sides 50%. Obviously if you are driving a LR you have some money (maybe a basketball/ hockey player) and you're looking for privacy.

Because its ILLEGAL and some INS companies will put you at fault automatically for an accidents

It could be that the dark tint that you see is from the privacy glass darkening the interior...and thus, the front window tint looks darker??

BTW, MercuryEVO brings up a good point...insurance company will find anything to get out of paying a claim! So, i would be careful.

because in most if not all states its illegal to tint the front windshield except for a strip across the top. correct me if I'm wrong...

Why would you tint the entire windshield? I have a strip across the top of my silver 98 and it sticks out pretty bad, but really helps when driving towards the sun.

My eyes are very sensitive. For example it is nearly impossible for me to keep them fully open when in bright sunlight.

However with my windshield tint and other tint I don't even need sunglasses. Very convenient.

My dark tint isn't really about privacy as much as having protection from the sun's UV rays on the interior and reduction of heat inside.

the legal reasons are not whats stopping me its the driving at night and not being able to see reasons that are. driving in some mtn roads are already tough enough i dont want to add to them any more
