Does this have a blue hue to it??I just got mine tinted with Llumar Air 80 - nano ceramic. I see the slightest amount of rainbow with polarized glasses, but not much.

View attachment 439709 50% works well on the windshield in AZ... i think it could still be darker though.
There are windshield specific films but the lighter 50-70% ones are almost clear.How do you not get pulled over?

70% is borderline clear, and may pass for clear if you have tint on your other windows. 50% is definitely noticeably on the front.There are windshield specific films but the lighter 50-70% ones are almost clear.

Good analysis and advice, for Vancouver. In So. Cal., my 80% is a godsend, and I can’t detect any loss of visibility, never have. I am not denying the physics, just giving my faulty human perception.Tinting the front windshield is great for appearance, UV rejection, and glare reduction in daytime. However, even running 80% means you are reducing light transmission by 20% and while fine most of the time it's not ideal in dark environments with poor lighting. Since it's illegal in most, if not all, jurisdictions I wonder what an insurance company would do if you got into an accident in poor lighting and they knew you had this tint that is not legal? In my books it's not worth the risk but risk always depends on individual tolerance.
The other option is Llumar Stratos 70% which has a blue hue (bleh).
I generally agree, but there are some older people (60+) with poorer eyesight and darker tints make it really very difficult to see at night. They will be fine with 70 or 80 to reduce heat, UV and glare.50 or regret going with anything lighter imho
Understandable, I mistakenly did 70 on my last car (50 on the CTR before that) and I was quite disappointed. So I made sure to do 50 on the M3LR again. I’ll get pictures for referenceI generally agree, but there are some older people (60+) with poorer eyesight and darker tints make it really very difficult to see at night.
