Anybody tint their front windshield on their GX or other cars before? I'm curious what is a good tint % that offers some protection but doesn't make it too dark driving at night, etc.

On all my cars, I opted for 50% on the Windshield. I did use the 80% AIR once but have found that the 50% is best for heat rejection while not impeding night vision.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
You could do clear ceramic and still get the heat and UV blocking. That is what I plan on doing when we finally get our GX.
My GX is scheduled for window film and exterior PPF next week. 30% Xpel will be applied to the windshield. The shop owner was wrapping his truck and showed me what 30 looks like on his ride. I’m also getting a 15% band across the top of the windshield. Personally, I like it.
If I want to match the rear windows, what should I aim for in the front driver and passenger doors?

Not confirmed but usually back windows are around 20%. Most States front windows that dark are technically illegal (in Tennessee where I am 35% is the legal limit for front windows) but it is kind of rarely enforced so most people ignore it.
I did my windshield at 70% and to me that seems like a good option since I don't have the greatest night time vision. I did 30 on the front doors, sunroof and back window, 70 on all the other windows added to the existing 24 that comes on them.
Stock tinted glass is ~22% so if you get 70% tint it effectively becomes 15% so keep that in mind. I just got mine done with XPel XR Prime Plus
Windshield 45%
Fronts 20%
Rears 70%
Windshield 45%

If you do tint your front windshield in Texas, just make sure you don't have too many drinks at dinner. That's easy PC for a rookie cop and you will be standing on one leg on the side of the road.
