In New York they test the windows during the yearly inspection now. I am looking to get 3m crystalline. If I want to stay legal 70% is max on the windshield and side windows. But the windows themselves must block some light, so wouldn't even a 70% tint be illegal?
Have your tint shop measure your windows and go from there. They know where the ā€œredlineā€ is.

Put ceramic on the windshield. Takes heat rejection to the next level. Worth every penny!
I've thought about it. It has to be clear though. It's my daily driver and I've already been pulled once for my tint. No ticket as I'm legal, and I'm going to stay that way. I don't think Pinnacle F1 comes in a 0% so I'd need to go with a different brand ceramic. In the meantime I have a Covercraft sunscreen I put up when I park. It's a bit bulky and cumbersome but it works very well. That doesn't help much when I'm driving though.:sun:

This is what I have. Virtually clear. I was looking for before/after pics but I do not have anything that really shows well. I also have the Covercraft sunscreen but no longer use it.

Well itā€™s not my daily so I did 5% all around and 35% on the windshield. I think Iā€™m going to take the 35% off the windshield. I think im going to go to 50 or 70 due to the visibility at night. Messed up 2 of my wheels on a curve lol

I think going to go with 50 because Iā€™ve seen 70 and it looks like itā€™s nothing on the windshield
And that's the point. If you only drive during the day fine. If you drive at night find a car with 50 to try. I did and went with 70. Just too dark.

I did 30% all around and 70% on my windshield of my 2018. On the 2019 I did 20% all around with nothing on the windshield. 20% is much better IMO, more privacy and not glaringly illegal looking. Skipped the windshield tint because tint has a tendency to glare when the sun hits it at a certain angle.

Mine is a carbon ceramic hybrid.

Here's a pic of the two cars, slightly different lighting conditions/angle.

Welcome to the forum Kieroy. Best to check the date of the post you are responding to. In this case Kevinā€™s post is fours years old and he hasnā€™t posted in two years.

By the way the darker car is Kona Blue and the lighter one is Velocity Blue. šŸ‘
