I wouldn't go darker than 20% personally

Does the tint on the windshield reduce the hud's visibility?

I didn't notice any differences in visibility. If anything, I'd say it's easier to see because there's less incoming glare from outside light sources.

The real benefit of having any tint on the windshield is glare reduction IMO. I'm surprised more manufacturers don't incorporate a light % on the windshield.

Thanks for the response. I'm definitely thinking about getting a script for that when my zl1 comes in.

It helps to be friends with an optometrist lol. Hopefully Florida doesn't make you wear these instead:

Haha I was thinking about getting one from the dermatologist to reduce the risk of "potential skin cancer"

I did the same on my 2011. I'll be doing the same on my ZL1 for sure. Easily best mod ever.

Most likely a bad install job. How much did you pay?
