Interior / Exterior Visual TechThis section contains discussion related to visual modifications of the Toyota FJ Cruiser. Some items might include dash kits, roof rack modifications and other visual modifications.
The front is done in whatever is legal for the sides, and the sides are LIMO.
That is probably why they missed the front altogether. If you put dark tint on the windshield, you are either trying to get a ticket, or asking for a night time collision.
FYI... Anyone wanting to PROPERLY tint their front windows needs to add a felt strip to the inner piece of plastic that the Window slides through. You will note that the outer piece already has felt (not that it is needed for the purpose of tint). Over time the bare plastic will scratch your tint. It is very easy to apply once the door panel is off (which would be removed anyway for a proper tint job). Most cars already have felt on both pieces of rubber/plastic but our FJs do not!
Always best to have a pro do your tint. Cheap tint job is not good and good tint job is not cheap. Pre cut kits are not dead on and still require trimming. If you have OCD like me you will want the edges even around all the windows. My FJ was $270 all windows (any color...I went "limo") including a strip across the windshield. i have been using my tint guy for 5 years. Ask around as it's worth it to get a guy who knows his S**t.
felt isnt necessary. i have never had it. my windows dont have any scratches. and i lived in AZ where it would be more prone to scratches because of all the dust and sand storms.

yea, maybe with 5% on the windshield. i have 50% and its fine. i ran it on my last truck as well. you have to be responsible when choosing to do something of this nature
i have my car done with 8% all the way around and 35% (medium) on my windshield. I love it and have never got a ticket for it. Im sure its just a matter of time before I do, but for now I LOVE my tint. its my second car like this and i wont have it any other way. i avoid tickets by driving with my front 2 windows down when im on the street and not going too fast. its so nice not having to squint my eyes all day
