Tinted Windshield

[Excon11]

Any1 have their entire windshield tinted? I have a 5% sunvisor but want to get the whole windshield tinted 35% as well. Any one have any pics/suggestions?

You can't tint your windshield legally. You'll have a hard time finding a reputable shop that will do the job... unless you say it's a "show car"

i have my windshield tinted, at 70%, i went ceramic, which in return is more efficient than 5% metallic and i won't be sweated by the cops...look into 3m ceramic window film, luckily i'm in southern california, and we have places like premier protective films, magic film and stm around here. i actually went 70% all the way around and you cant even tell on the front windshield, it's seamless...downside is ceramic is way more expensive that metallic but IMO ceramic is the only way to go...plus you get no interference with cell or am signals

yes you can

Might've wanted to specify here in Texas... Can't tint below the AS-1 line (or 5 inches, whichever is less)

Well in Cali your not allowed to have any tint on the front windows or its like nothing below 70% and I tinted my 5% and never had any problems yet And thanks for that picture im definitely going to get it tinted.

yea I got my entire windshield done at 20% send me your email and i can send you video i did that for dwdrummer. I have some pics of it in my album it looks really dark but its not all that bad as long as you got hid's you'll be good.

make sure have it tinted before you put on the inspection and registration stickers, that is an easy way for a cop to see it is if he looks at the stickers and they have the tint overtop of them, he will know for sure.

In Cali we dont have an inspection on our vehicles and no registration stickers on our windshield. And anybody have any prices I should expect to pay?

 

[UofMZ71]

i payed $175 for windshield and the two fronts

This was 50% on entire windshield with upper and lower 5% brows.

That is one way to do it. I chose to put my stickers on a piece of clear static cling vinyl (which sticks to the tint too), that way there will never be issues with having to peel them and/or damage the tint.

my question is, are you doing it for looks or function?

with ceramic you can go pretty much stock looking(70%) and it out performs 5% metallic(limo tint)...now if your going for pure looks thats the buyers call because it's your truck.

either way, what shade you decide to go, ceramic film is light years better than metallic just cost a lil more....

where in Cali are you?


my tahoe's(both of them) were wrapped right over stock at 70% and i have zero static from the cops. thats the goal for me...no fix it tickets with having a fully modded ride

Why do alot of people have brows on their windshield? If I do it I'm going to have the while windshield tinted. I don't understand the brows.

That tint is no joke. No joke at all...it's 80deg here already and my truck is black on the inside now. Completely black in fact, top to bottom carpet and all. It's cooler in my truck than outside when I open it up.

Hey ex, you can get it tinted, but you might have problems with the cops, it all dependes on where you live cuz im in TN and i have allways tinted my windshields on all my cars 35% and i have never had a cop pull me over for it.

Any tips for finding a good shop to do it? I cant seem to find any that go down to 5%. Or would it be worth trying to do myself?
