Looks awesome and I did it Friday.
Saturday-tinted windshield ticket in Seaside. Sunday-pulled over by CHP on 101. Showed them my ticket from the day before and explained I'd fix it Monday. ...,Got a "defective windshield, must be fixed in 48 hours" ticket instead.....smh, not in Cali

All windshields have safety film in them between two layers of glass. With and without tint they do the same thing. When we take off a windshield to do an extraction it comes out mostly in one large sheet even though its shattered.

Holy crap? Did you do 35% or something because 50 isn't all that noticeable..
