    I had it but no pictures. Took a while to get used to as the window is low profile so the tint line was right in the middle of my vision. At first was was almost splitting my view to look under or over the line but after a while I got used to it. I probably wouldn’t do it again on a Tacoma.

    You can only tint down to the AS1 line. You will see the marks on both sides of the windshield. It may not show well as my back glass and back seat is 2 percent and front is 20. I will take a pic for you from the inside in the morning. Happy to help.

    I looked for those marks yesterday. I've seen them in other vehicles I've owned but not in my tacoma for some reason. I really appreciate your help. I believe I've already said this, but I'm definitely getting my fronts tinted. just on the fence about the strip

    I just got this done myself, its dark outside but will take pics tomorrow. Absolutely love it. I got UV blocking tint and already feel the difference with it being close to 90 most days here.

    Mine might look darker because it’s 2% film.

    I like the dark strip on top ...but around here there’s a few yota’s that have there entire windshields tinted ....so I checked into it (curious) and if you have a certain eye condition it’s legal apparently

    does the tint strip divide your vision? like are you trying to look above or below that line constantly? that's my biggest drawback

    6ft tall and have the seat jack stands installed and it's nowhere near my vision. It's been helpful with the sun towards the end of the day. If I were to go about it again, I'd probably just tint the whole front with UV blocking as well. The sides made a huge difference with heat absorption.

    I don’t have any issue. It is quite nice at night too in city driving to cut down on glare from street lights.

    My entire windshield is 50%, the rest are 5%. My special condition is YOLO.

    If you go the full windshield route, just make sure to put a piece of paint protector film where your inspection/toll tag will go otherwise it's going to bond to the tint, and then you get to redo it all.

    Ill see if i can get better pics later today but I did the top half. Was weird initially but I'm thankful I did it. I drive eastbound for work every morning, forgot my sunglasses one time and it was enough for me to go get it done.

    I have the visor tint strip but I don't feel it does anything for me. I've considered taking it off and maybe tinting the whole windshield. It seems like the sun is never in line of the tint strip so it doesn't really serve a purpose for me.
