I had this done to my stingray. I went with 35% on the front and 20% on the side windows. It was pretty nice to be able to drive without sunglasses. But when I took the targa top off and would drive around it was pretty crappy. Too much sun coming from above and harder to see out the front windshield.
I would never do this again on a targa or vert. But I would consider doing on a coupe. One day....

Yes,the issue here is based on how our eyes work. Top down, sun coming in, causes pupils to constrict. This coupled with a tinted windscreen allowing say 20% VLT makes for a terrible idea.. one which works against us.
That band atop the windscreen is limited by the ANSI. It is permitted.
Tinting below on any other portion of the front glass is not permitted short of a medical waiver (typically eye or skin semsitivites).
States are very particar even about stickers on the front glass. The placement if inspection and registration type decals are very purposeful. They are seemingly out of the way, unable to hinder ones view.
not arguing the law, practicality, or pupil dialation. I saw it on a S2k the other day and it looked super nice. There is a guy on here with a blue vert, early model, motor swap and his fron windshield is tinted but i cannot find him.
Just looking for a pic of an e30 with tint on front windshield is all.
There are a few people that I have seen do it on varous cars. I like it, but dont see a practical application as stated above. All that said, never seen an e30 with it.
