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.
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.

does the clear ceramic front window tint impact the heads up display? can anyone confirm?
I have 70% and it does not impact the heads up display
