Surprised by your confusion. Surely you understand that the law against tints ahead of the B pillar, which exists in many states and provinces, is due to the inability of others outside the vehicle to see the driver, and to satisfy themselves that the driver sees them. It has nothing to do with whether or not you can see out. Pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists are especially vulnerable. The law is there for a reason. Perhaps there is no such law where you live, but you have New York plates, and NY tint laws are pretty much the same as elsewhere.

It really does not matter if someone outside sees in. I'm a very aware driver and always brake for bicyclists and pedestrians. If your a bad driver u will hit someone no matter what your front windshield is covered with. Totally invalid point, IMO

Looks, nice. BTW, they have clear films these days for windshield which block just as other tint films and no one knows you have it.;)

Clear film with uv protectant? Sounds interesting. That's all I really wanted was the reduction of glare

Looks nice:thumbup:, now you need to do something about the ugly colors on the new NY plates.

Justin, JCL has a valid point and I think you are missing it .

You make white look really good. I like your rims with the tinted windows.

Your right suave, jcl has a valid point but the way the tint helps reduce glare is safety enough for me. It looks soo much darker in the pics but u can visibly see me just as well as someone with comfort glass. 35% would be overkill.

looks good, Not allowed here in canada for the front atleast in ontario...i'm going to do my front sides...any idea was the lightest available? i have factory glas on the back and rear sides...need a really light shade to match....

jst2878 05-24-2010 02:08 PM

35% matches perfect, but 50% is slightly lighter but will look way better than clear standard glass
