My question is about the windshield. I want to keep it classy and not go crazy dark. I also want to improve the contrast on the HUD. I was thinking either 50% or 70%. What do you guys think? Is 50 too dark??
Also- my car is registered in PA but rarely spends any time there. Inspection stickers are required. Should I have the installer cut around those that way they can be replaced every year? What about EZ-Pass? Should I install around that, or remove the 3M Double sided tale and reinstall over the film.
I don't think the automatic high beam sensor should be effected.
Let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advanced !!

You will definitely get a ticket with 50% on the windshield. I have 70% and it's perfect. You can tell it's tinted but doesn't draw bad attention from cops. I also have darker interior and black exterior which makes the tint to appear darker. If you have a light color interior the illusion will not look as dark
