windshield tinted & front windows

jst2878 · #1 05-23-2010, 02:51 PM

After five years I finally decided to cover the front door windows with 35% to match the rear doors. I also decided to tint the front windshield with 50%, i know some say its a bad idea but it really isnt. Instead of spending 780.00 on the comfort glass It only cost about 80 for the windshield tint. the drivers view on the road is perfectly visible.....35% would have been overkill.

What are you going to do about the inspection and registration stickers?

They are a pretty hard to peel off clean after its been on for a year or more. I usually need a razor.

I disagree. I think it is a terrible idea. No ability to make eye contact with the driver from outside, which makes it less safe for other drivers (and especially cyclists). Nothing that can't be fixed by noting down license plate numbers and calling them in, but we shouldn't have to.

Took you five years huh...took me about 5 days. Not too sure about the windshield tint though, its a no no here in Cali.

Looks great and just the right tint level. My front windshield is tinted as well at 50% and it isn't really noticeable, but makes a big difference inside when its bright out. I was just pulled over the other day for speeding and the cop didn't even notice the front windshield being tinted, but did notice no front plate.

Now you just need to change the head lights. Hate those waffles in the headlights, looks dated.

My tint specialist gave me vinyl clear decals that you stick the reg and inspection to and then the vinyl decal sticks to the windshield. no tape or glue involved and you could peel it off a hundred times if you wanted to
