Front Windshield TINTED!!!
I never did it before, and the dude I know at the tint shop told me to get 41% Polarized Tint. So it wont look TOO noticible but it will knock out ALOT of sun and from the front it will look Polarized like a Rainbow, sort of like the OLD lincolns back in the day.
Here are some Pics, Just had it done today. During the day it looks hot, made my side windows EVEN darker since not too much lights gets inside anymore.
Looks hot to me, so far for all you people who think TINT HAS to cost more, I have paid only $150 for all the windows on the side and the back window, 3% Limo Tint on the sunroof, and the 41% polarized tint on my windshield. And if you doubt the quality, why not hold your FLAMES for when you come and see it in Person.

) Does it alter your perception of the road at all? I know my glasses made patches of replacement tar and pot holes look weird, depth perception of smaller objects was diminished...

NO WAY in HELL a Tint can make a window crack. Not Flamming, but that is the most amazing BS I have heard.

Actually have not drove the car at night, hopefully it aint bad. See like I said, I know the owner of the tint shop real well and he is honest with me. He told me you wont notice much difference at night, it anything glare will be less and maybe about a 5% lower visibility.I will keep you posted when I do drive it at night.

I saw something on the news a few months back about a special kind of glass or tint, can't remember but it was suppose to reduce UV rays and reduce teh temperature inside of the car quiet a bit. Is this what you got on your car Big Dog? I like the way it looks.

I am tinting like a freak cause I am about to install some TV monitors and the TV headunit soon, maybe in the month. I dont want ANYONE to see in the car to see what is in there.
DC area aint the hottest area to have cars like that.

Nice touch. I am going back to vegas in a couple of weeks and I am going to have my friend do the same to my max. I have 5% all around but because the front shield is so big you can see right in.

Looks tight dude. I would do the same if not for the strict laws around here. I had 20% dark tint before and got problems with it, so now it's 50% Platinum tint in the front, and 35% Platinum tint in the rear and back windows. Oh well...
