This would seem to reduce visibility of > everything else that is outside of a headlight path. one thing i found to be very helpful ... a strip of dark tint across the top of the windshield. about 8" worth, of the same stuff on the windows. you have to do it in two pieces that match up behind the rearview mirror, though .. the windshield curves in two directions and a single strip wrinkles up. :( but the trick is to have it just low enough (from the top of the windshield) so you can raise your head and straighten up a bit and have the oncoming idiot driver's headlights move up into the tint. sort of like sunglasses. ;) it also helps a lot when driving into the sun ... especially early morning or late afternoon. it's better to put a bit more than you think at first, then you can trim it later with a razor blade and a straightedge. it's also a really good idea to cut the tint on the OUTside of the bus, to fit the curve of the windshield ... it just makes it easier to fit it when you go inside. yeah, it's still legal. at least in my state. cause all these little pocket-rocket hondas and toyotas and those dufus big pickup trucks are running around with their names or some slogan on their tint at the top of the windshield. :) unca joel
