Be careful what thickness you use if you do,
Certain states have laws regarding the size

I just got my Max tinted over Thanksgiving...20% all around, including the strip on the windshield. I wish I had gotten it a little lower than it is, but it does make a difference.

But like the others said, check your local laws, if you care. Many states don't even let you do anything other than stock to the windshield; some only allow as low as the stock strip runs. I'm not sure if they can do anything about the darkness, as most tint checkers need to slide onto the window...

Good luck!

Edit: It would help if I attached the picture... I haaaate this damn 56.6 connection!!! I wanna be back at school!

you can only go above the AS1 line (it's a little marking with an arrow).

Hmm, that's interesting...Is that the arrow's only purpose? I'll have to check my cars and see how low they go...

here's what my tint strip looks like. i know that the law here (ontario, canada) stated that the tint must not be more than 6" down from the top of the windshield. i wonder if that coincides with the as1 arrow?
i'm happy with the way mine looks and how much it does help blocking out the sun. although i wish i got it done with 5% tint as opposed to 20%


but remember ppl TINT IS NOT A MOD!!!
