X2 on the top part of the windshield. FL is like TX; 5 inch max. I can understand if you have a Fiat; but who is tall enough to be blocked out in the top 8 inches of a Superduty windshield?

I had the windows tinted today, we went with 35%. I haven't even driven it yet, my wife drove it to town and had them done. I stopped by had lunch with her and snapped this photo.

Thanks for all your input on the matter.

Thanks guys, I wanted to go 20% but the guy I wanted to install it would only go 35% and of course my wife was there whit him and a co-worker that had 35% installed. Long story but I had 35% installed. I did have 20% installed on the sunroof and like that. I didn't have anything put on the top part of the windshield yet but I will.

Cheers !!

I had 35% put on my new truck Tuesday and a 20% legal width strip on the windshield. Makes a big difference in looks and comfort in how weather. I've had the non-legal tints before but its just not worth the hassle anymore.

Does your wife actually drive your truck that much?

x2.. Depends where you live but being hassled one time is enough.Have to strip it all,go to dmv to prove you stripped it and then have it tinted again.Not worth it.
