Very nice... I like it.

You are aware of the city's initiative to target front tints this summer, no?

Hows that tint on the front windshield do with the Defrost on? any hiccups or problems getting the windows defrosted properly in a timely fashion?..Also, with the defrost on, is there any peeling or premature bubbling taking place on that tint film?

It looks great but unfortunately its not legal here in NYC so id get pulled over alot for it...

Is it really about pedestrians and motorcycles? I thought it was more about the po-po and their inability to see Justin reaching for his 0.45 ACP.:cool:

In any event, I don't think 50% windshield is unreasonable per se. The problem might arise because that windshield looks quite dark to the po-po when they see it set against the 35% side window tints. In other words it will look darker than it really is and will be a magnet for getting stopped. Worse yet, I don't think they'll waive the Court appearance until they have definitive proof that you took the windshield tint off. One of my buddies went as far as to get an official opthalmologist letter stating that he needs the windshield tint due to a sensitive eye condition. The local cops really didn't give a crap. He still got stopped multiple times and wound up having to remove it:(

:rofl: That must be a NJ/NY thing.

It is about any other road user that wants to ensure that an oncoming or turning driver sees them, and looks for that acknowledgement when they are driving defensively. It is simply that pedestrians and cyclists are more vulnerable. Having lived through a serious bicycle accident (we were on a bicycle path next to a roadway, and were hit by someone who wasn't looking, resulting in my wife spending three months in a hospital bed) I err on the side of 'off with their heads'. That shouldn't directly impact Justin, since he doesn't drive where I ride, but I don't support mods that endanger me and my family, and I empathize with cyclists that do ride in NY. (But if they are bike couriers who ride on the sidewalk, they get no support)

It matters very much to the other person who is doing his best to avoid being run over. Personally, I look for whether a driver is on a cell phone as well, as that multiplies the likelihood of a collision.

Jcl, your opinion is valued but it is also biased with your personal(horrific) experience. The fault of the driver is that of the driver and there ability to be safe. I personally take driving as a privilege. No cell phone use while driving, always stopping, always a safe distance behind other vehicles, etc. I'm very glad your wife is ok but people are our worst enemy and the elderly and idiots behind the wheel give people like me a bad rap. But with my front tint u can definitely see me from the outside of the vehicle. I'll be the one stopped, letting u walk by.

I love it! Looks great. Be careful when pulled over at night. Cops pulled their guns on me one night and only my back windows are tinted so far!!! I had my 4 year old in the car, I was so pissed at them!
