Tinted my whole windshield today 13%
 
Actually my friend tinted it for me. It turned out great and its nice and dark.
The pics aren't the best but you get the point.

FURY 02-23-2002 08:13 PM

Woa

it looks like you replaced your windshield with a big piece of black plastic

whowhatwhoa 02-23-2002 08:31 PM

it looks clean and nice but have fun driving at nite also hope cops aren't As$holes in ur area

DaveyD 02-23-2002 08:33 PM

Get ready to get pulled over because I think that is kind of illegal.

AzNmiKex215 02-23-2002 08:47 PM

night rider style... very cool.. but very illegal.. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
why all the kool stuff in life gotta be againts the law?[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Greg 02-23-2002 08:51 PM

Driving at night wont be a problem. This is my 4th car with this done. The cops on the other hand are pricks. I have been pulled over twice for my side windows and havent got a ticket, yet.

fraga 02-23-2002 08:53 PM

That's just asking for a ticket brotha. Looks cool though.

bambuski 02-23-2002 08:55 PM

wow...i got 20% and thought that that was really dark.

Greg 02-23-2002 08:56 PM

all my windows are 13%. I know this because I have had the meter put on them by the cops.

WhosYoDadday85 02-23-2002 09:54 PM

Dude, I would be affraid to drive around you at night lets just leave it at that.....:susp:

VNlilMAN 02-23-2002 10:19 PM

daaamn now thats gangsta.... i dont have enough balls to get the front tinted cause you cant roll them down like the side ones. but i was thinking about getting the silver/metallic/mirror tint on the front so there's more of a glare but they still wont be able to tell its tinted cause its not dark, just more reflective.

XjIgGyBoNE 02-23-2002 10:33 PM

hey greg! nice car [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] i was wonderin...im still tryin to change my tints so that noone can see through my car(OR ATLEAST HAS A HARD TIME SEEING THROUGH MY CAR) at night time.

IS 13% dark enough for someone to have a hard time seeing into the car at night time?

Greg 02-23-2002 10:43 PM

If you get up to my windows and press your face against the glass you can barely see anthing inside.

XjIgGyBoNE 02-23-2002 10:51 PM

GREG DO U HAVE A HARD TIME SEEING AT NIGHT TIME WHEN U DRIVE?

Greg 02-23-2002 10:56 PM

I dont have a hard time seeing at all but I'm used to it. All my cars are tinted like this.
It did take awhile to get used to the first time I had it done but that was 3yrs ago.
This isnt even the darkest car I've had. I had a 99 S-10 that was 3% on all windows.

tcneo 02-24-2002 12:16 AM

beware of the 6th sense driver !! LOL[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG].. you might even be able to drive with your eyes closed man...

Shuohan 02-24-2002 12:53 AM

That's kinda risky isn't it? I have 17% on all my windows except windshield and have a hard time seeing out of the sides at night. But I prefer the windsheild not tinted because I want to be able to see at least what's in front of my car in regular colors... that would bug me to see everything darker than it actually was... make sense?

djlunatic 02-24-2002 10:27 AM

i had the equivalant of a 15% tint all the way around(not winsheild) and i had to take the front tints off. it was a big pain. every cop i passed would pull me over just to be an @$$. if you search the forum on tint you'll find a helpful thread that lists all the state laws on tint. i'm almost positive you're going to get harrassed on the windsheild tint.

Booohahaha 02-24-2002 10:39 AM

dude...that looks wicked
hahahaha kinda like a EVIL car looking to take people out lolz!:tup::tup:

Voiceofid 02-24-2002 10:45 AM

i would be scared to drive at night like this...

Greg 02-24-2002 11:30 AM

I promise you that it really its that tough to see at night. Its just like driving around with your sunglasses on.:tup::tup::tup:
35% is what is legal in my state. I think I'm a little darker.

WhosYoDadday85 02-24-2002 02:28 PM

So are you invovled in organized crime by any chance?

kristy 02-24-2002 05:20 PM

GREG!:eek:That's awesome! I've thought about getting my windshield tinted but I dont really wanna risk it with the cops...I havent gotten harassed by them yet for my sides and I plan to keep it that way!
Looks kick@ss tho![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

bobbyd 02-24-2002 08:10 PM

what about insurance? like if you get into an accident i hear that insurance will not cover you cause they will say that you could not see out very good?

Greg 02-25-2002 08:07 AM

I've never heard that about insurance before.

UncleB 02-25-2002 08:42 AM

not to sound mean or anything, but that is just plain stupid, but to each his own. it looks nice, but I am not risking my safety for looks. I will keep my 15% on the sides and rear and keep it at that.

Greg 02-25-2002 08:52 AM

I cant believe everybody thinking its hard to see out of. Almost all of my friends that have fixed up cars have their front windshield tinted. Hell I even see older people in my area with tinted windshields. I talked to my friend and he said he tints at least 1 or 2 windshields a week and most of them are older people.

UncleB 02-25-2002 08:54 AM

I don't know, it just seems risky to me. I know how hard it is for me to see out of my sides and back at night already. I can't imagine having the front done as well. hey, if it works for you, then cool. peace.
