Just to let people get more variation. its 3m 25% around and 50 on the windshield. The light tinting of the windshield help reduce night time glare from oncoming traffic

ps just can just barely see the outline of my dog in the second pic :tup:

Just got my windshield done with 45% and the rest of the car was already done a few months ago in 15%. The windshield makes all the difference. Its like driving with sunglasses on during the day. At night you can't even tell it's tinted. With the windows open, nobody can tell its tinted, unless they're looking for it. It looks much darker in the pics than it does in person. I'll take better pics another time.

It's the dawn/dusk that'll get you, but maybe not so much as with 45%. The times when it's not too bright or dark for having your windows down to make a difference. I had an Accord with 5% all around and 35% on the windshield and got away with it for about 5 years.

That is. . . until I pulled up first at a light during dusk making a left. The cop was in the oncoming lane and was first, too. I know he was staring me down It was dusk and I had all my windows and sunroof down. Needless to say, shortly making my left, I see the lights and knew exactly what it was for. Oh well, had to happen eventually.

I live in KY btw and they really don't give a **** about tint in general. I think this one cop was just had his eye out.

Be careful with that! If you get into an accident especially if it was with me and there was any bodily injury at all, i would go after you in court for obstructing your clear view of the road (its illegal) for quite a few coins :driving:

You'd have a hard time with that considering most sunglasses are darker than 45%....

Besides, you should really find a different outlook on life rather than trying to find reasons to sue people.

Sunglasses are legal and can be easily taken off, tint on a windshield is not


nice try though :driving:

:icon18:Not quite.

Obviously the tint is semi-permanent, But nobody is going to take their sunglasses off right before an accident:rolleyes: If I rear ended you at noon you would have no case. You would only win at night, and thats only a possibility.

Which brings me back to my next point. Find a different way to make more money.:tup: Relax.:driving:

Actually it is illegal to operates a vehicle with tint affixed to the windshield at all hours of the day and night. If its noon and you rear end me, you did it by operating a motor vehicle that was illegal to have on public roads and to top it if someone gets seriously injured or killed, your looking at a much more serious charge.

Its not about money its about ignorance of the law and repressions thereafter.

Well good luck with that. You missed the entire point. Almost every car in this forum is illegal whether it be side windows, rear windows, no front plate, no cats, etc...

Good luck on your road to the riches. Your first comment indicated your wishes.

Footloose301 05-02-2011 08:37 PM

Better pics as promised: Windows down, 8pm. Pics still make it appear darker than it looks in person, but imho I think it looks great.

1. Side windows don't block your forward view and you can roll them down.

2. Rear window matters not because you have 2 side view mirrors.

3. A cat or plate?...how exactly does that come into this conversation? Your really reaching here.

4. This all was about your windshield being illegally obstructed.

In conclusion, I have no need for anymore money than i have now and that's not the point. The point is that you are in the wrong and don't want to admit it. That's ok though have fun when its almost night out and that kid starts crossing the road and....oh yea you have a excuse for that too.

leighspped 05-02-2011 11:04 PM

Wow, just wow


Something just doesn't click......

You're not comprehending this at all. I never denied windshields being illegal, never once. I know it is but I DON'T care. Side windows have just as much to do with obstructed views if it's illegal tint ad then you rambled on about ignorance and of the law so I suggested many vehicles in this forum are "igorant" because they're illegal thru various mods.

Haha and now you're talking about kids getting hit because of a little tint on a windshield that isn't as dark as a pair on sunglasses. All I told you is that you'd have a hard time proving that tint became a factor in an accident. "It's not what you know, it's what you can prove". If you've ever seen a tinted windshield in person then you'd know it wouldn't be a factor. As far as reaching goes, you would be doing quite a bit.


This really needs to get back on topic. It's a decision thread for people to look at tints and make their own decision toward a future purchase.

Oh yeah don't forget all the ppl with windshield NAVs are all illegal!!!

Wilken21 06-04-2011 01:14 AM

I have to say i'm envious more of the fact that almost Everyone has a Black 370Z, WTF! I looked for 6 months and couldn't find anything within 500 miles of me that was black so i had to cope with red :/ I mean don't get me wrong I love my Z, but If I find a Magnetic Black or a Black Cherry, I wouldn't hesitate to trade XD and my Z has I think 20% all the way around but i'm not sure, I know it's way darker than the 30% is
