Front windshield tint and HUD
For those of you who have tinted the front window, did it affect your HUD visibility at all? any other issues you noticed?
i see people doing this quite a lot around here and was curious as to people's impressions if you had it done |

I have mine on 30 percent, no problem at all. Plus you can adjust the brightness of the HUD if you want

ever get any attention from the cops with tint that low, especially in NYC, or is it a secondary offense?

I've gotten a few tint tickets here in NY but usually they don't bother me as much with my PA plates. I actually got a warning for all the windows on Saturday. I don't mind paying the tickets. I kinda like my privacy.

Holy crap. 30% on the front is hella dark for a windshield. I would be worried about getting in an accident at night and it being used against me not too mention the reduction of actual visibility. And don't say there isn't cuz I have 30% on my X5 side windows and it is much different than my 70% on the windshield. I wish you luck to say the least!

I'm at 50% on the front and 5% on the sides and rear. Honestly 50% really isn't too hard to get used to. Sometimes I wish it was darker.

Until you get in a wreck and insurance finds out you had tint on the windshield and won't cover a dime of you or the other car. That's my concern.

I have a 70% light transmission / 98% heat rejection on all my windshields and 20% / 98% on all the other windows of all my other cars. HUD fine, all works great in texas heat/sun.
