Tinted windshield?

Tinted windshield?
I have my tint guy coming over next week to do my front sides and am thinking on going all the way around. Does anyone here have their front windshield tinted? If so do you like it? Please post pics.
I'm in so cal and am getting prescription from doc to make it legal.

I have my windshield tinted with 3M Crystalline 70%, and am happy with the film itself. I also live in So Cal, and have a black interior so personally it was a must do.
Word of warning if you have a leather dash though, make sure your installer is very careful with the solution, or you may end up with permanent water damage to the dash: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforum...er-damage.html

I have blk interior and that is the exact tint I was going to use. Do you have any pics? Do you have any visibility issues at night? With so many street/traffic/car lights I suppose its not an issue?

I have 50% on my front windshield, and have been very happy with it. This was the first car I've tinted the front on, and was a little concerned about night driving (distractions, glare, poor visibility) although I haven't experienced any issues. The majority of people would never know if they were in the car unless I told them the front was tinted. I like the look, plus the benefits of a protected dash and a cooler car.
Here are a few pics from the outside looking in (it looks darker then it is, just because all the other windows are tinted and the interior is black), I'll try and snap a few from the inside looking out and get them posted ASAP.
It gets a thumbs up / recommendation from me.

It's LLumar Automotive Film (High Performance Series). To provide full UV protection, and to get the closest match on all the windows (since the rear windows have a slight tint from the factory) I went with 50% on the Windshield, 35% on the Front Windows (to keep it legal), and 50% on the rear. They put a light meter on the front and rear, and while it's not 100% the same, it was very very close.

I'd get those ceramic film (my local guy use Wincos) and the most clear tint they have available. These films blocks almost all of the heat, even the 90% clear films (almost no tint).
But that's a different story if your goal is privacy...

I ran 3M Crystaline(sp?) 70% on my front window and loved it. I just had to replace my front windshield because of a crack from a rock on the freeway, and I could immediately feel the difference of the heat coming through the windshield. Next week I'm gonna go get it reapplied to my new windshield.
