This must be a down south sort of thing (windshield tint), in MN we need all the sun we can get! :cool:

In FL, it would be nice, but with my luck I would get a ticket pulling out of the tint place (if they would even do it)

yessir. When it is 90 degrees with 90% humidity on Christmas and you're a personal vinegar factory, your vehicles need tint like your body needs water.

Drive over to JAX. Every tint place does windshields here.
That only works until I drive home and get pulled over :) Not worth the ticket. For non-driving heat, I just depend on my windshield screen (l put only 15k miles on my '17 in 4.5 years if that tells you how much I drive it). It would look cool for consistency, but for privacy it's not an issue (as I also use the full vehicle kit for the sun screens when it's parked at home).

I love the look, but I was surprised that people to it. I've never seen a car around here that has it (or maybe I've never noticed?)

Probably 30% of the cars in JAX have the complete front windshield tinted.

I'm surprised since you're further south that it would be a problem down there.

Like I said, maybe I've never noticed it. I see a lot of cars with the strip across the top. I'll now be on the look out for full windshield. It's tempting to do it.

I’m doing full windshield 50 and 5 all around when my truck arrives. I had 35 in the past on my old Grand Cherokee, but I’ll be sticking to 50 this time around.

Dumb question: What's the factory VLT in the rear and back windows?

Rear windows are 20%, fronts are 70%. I’m not sure if the front windshield or back glass are dyed from the factory.
