My question is why? Do you have an issue with your eyesight regarding brightness or is it to look cool ?

Air blue 80. Nothing else matters.

Do you have sun visors?

Of course I do. I just like the looks of the tint strip.

I have 5% all around and 35% on the windshield, looks great, no issues. I HAAAAAAATE strips across the top, and it would be a terrible choice on a car like this. It would already turn a tank/slit window into something even worse.

Im not a fan of eyebrows, but I put one on this car to cover the front of the hoodliner. I had them do it as small as possible without having any adhesion problems. At 35% it does not impede night vision for traffic lights and what not

here ya go

Nope just purely esthetic, like the way it looks better with tint

Nice, I like that! I imagine with 5% on the windows over your 35% i should probably do the 75% or so on the front, it's already pretty hard to see in the front on yours and don't need it being TOO attractive to the cops.

Gets a sports car, but doesn't want to be attractive to cops. Yeah, good luck... :P

From what I learned after almost 2 years of ownership... Cops will always look, and some will even stare, follow or give thumbs up. So I just personally avoid giving them any reason to want to pull me over.

The Z front I would assume even more since it has such and aggressive front end.

Going dark windshield is really stupid.

I did 35% on side and rear windows.
I also had a clear heat rejection laminate installed on the front windshield to protect the interior from heat damage and help keep the car cool.
