Tinted the Front Windshield
 
Got the front windshield tinted this week. The tint is at 50% front. The other windows are 20% plus the factory privacy glass. Man, I hate the headlights. I plan on clearing these in a couple of weeks as I have smoked tails and side markers. These headlights look outdated. Anyway here is the pics of the tint.

looks great ...right choice 50 for the windshield, not that noticeable for law enforcement when the rest of your windows are tinted ;)

looking good! i've been debating on whether to get the front windshield tinted or get the privacy glass windshield..

if your planning on clearing your headlights you might as well get some angel eyes installed! i'm currently trying to get some Umnitza Orions installed.

Already planning on adding some angel eyes. But thanks for looking out. I have the CCFL rings from ebay.

That looks nice. Not like it gets hot where you live or anything. :rofl: What was the temp there today?

Essam Khafagi 08-25-2009 03:02 AM

You dont want to know :rofl:

:wow: it's in the 40's (F) here too! :D Idaho, that is :rofl:

out here the night gets so black, if I tinted the windshield, I'd need a front view camera to go along with the rear view. Maybe have to change my license to "daytime only"?!:dunno:
