Just put a new dash in your car before they are no longer available.

Bought one off a stripped race car, but realized deterioration had already started when I received it. Sigh…

the risk is that the new dash will get melted again after a few years... I think that's about the time frame that the dash go south. Not sure how much a new dash and labor cost, but it's likely more than 10% of the cars' value.

I had my whole front window tinted with Ceramic 70% and added a top 5% piece also. Wonder if that will save me. Otherwise I will be putting a new dash in if it happens. I did it right when I bought my car. It was 2 yrs old.

On a side note. I have had one of my previous cars front window tinted with 50%. It is too much in rainy weather when it get's dark. It is difficult to see. I would only recommend 70%.

50%?!?
It is illegal to tint your front windshield here in Texas (with the exception of the upper 5 inches of glass). I can't imagine having tint on my windshield at night or in heavy rain. Talk about dangerous...

You can get "tints" that don't block much visible light but block a lot of the heat and UV EDIT: I was really surprised by how little light 45% tint blocks myself. If you believe these graphics Last edited by SeeThruHead; 06-02-2021 at 12:08 PM. |

There is no additional factory tint that is applied to the Z windows
It's just the characteristics of the glass they use. The glass is already not 100% clear.

You rode in my car, you didn't even notice it. I have been known to bend a tint law every now and then. LMAO!!!! All of my cars have 70% front window tint. I will never have another one that is not tinted. Last edited by Spooler; 06-02-2021 at 12:22 PM. |

It was grey enough outside that I did notice the reduced visibility. No wonder your car was so slow!! jk man I know 50% is not bad
As a passenger, I prefer tinted windows all around: 5% please. But as a driver I do not like any of the windows to be tinted because it reduces visibility. Just a personal preference. Living in Texas, believe me I understand their desirability for most people. I've gotten a rental car before with the front windshield tinted pretty good. They didn't believe me until we looked at another car.
