has anybody tinted there windshield?
if so post pics plz..

my black interior is turning greyish =\
what cleaner shud i use besides armorALL to keep my black shiny

 

Not legal in most states as it impairs visibility at night. Tint cannot extend past the AS1 mark on the front windshield.

 

i've seen some old ladies that have had there fronts tinted in cali im guessing for eye problems.. i know its illigal but has anybody done it

 

my friend did it on his black Lincoln LS...he has like 5% on sides and 35% on front~~!!!

damn dark any way you look at it. Looks real good, but not legal and at night...well I sure as hell wouldnt want to drive it.

 

For your Leather you should use Lexol. It works wonders and is designed for leather. Try it. If your want to tinit the front try a 50% film, it might help with the UV Rays.

 

do NOT use armor all. THAT is the problem. armor all is garbage. use lexol or zaino leather cleaner and condtioner. that shit is awesome.

 

The only legal way to get tints more than 35% and or get the windshield tinted as well is by having an eye doctor note along with you in the car all the time, saying "you need the tint coz the headlights from other cars are not good for your eyes" . So if a cop pulls you over for the tints you can pass him the note and he wont ticket you. I was interested in getting 5 % all around but got told that the only way i wont be ticketed would be by getting that note, which i cant since i dont have an eye doctor who can lie on my behalf , lol.

 

If you are going to Tint the front windshield I recommend 50%. It is illegal in most states. But so is every other mod to a car.

 

anyone have any pics?

 

I've got 50% on my windshield. It's still illegal but harder to notice. The dead give away is that the registration stickers are grey instead of white.

Here's a ppic but it looks lighter than it is b/c the sun is behind it.

 

Tinting the windshield is illegal in most states. However, if u decide to tint go with 50%. It is not as noticable as you might think. Well at night might be a different story but....

Here is a link to the samd topic dicussed on A-CL.com. Pics are also in the link...

Darkshear's tinted windshield




NYdesi80's tl with tinted windshield

 

my windsheild is getting done as we speak.

 

What tint?is 50% really that light on the front windsheild? Damn..

 

I dont think ud want it any darker

 

Why don't you get a Heatshield or something? Is your leather turning grey or the dash? Use Lexol on the leather. Try 303 on the dash.

 

why , is that dark?

 

In the sun...




In the shade...




55% front half / 35% rear half




Keep in mind, my setup is more for UV protection than looks.

 

Don't let camera lighitng fool you...these are taken WITH a flash.





This camera can only do ISO100...

 

wheres your tint?!

 

i can do it 100 bucks, i work at a shop in sf. If you want to see it in real person then let me know i did mine and also you can see my work.

 

For the windshield, then yes. I mean i wouldnt want to go 35% on the windshield. It would be more difficult to see at night not to mention unsafe.

 

Tint looks good. Be prepared for a possible lawsuit should you get in an accident. Especially if you cause it. I had a buddy of mine who tinted 35% on his fronts, hit a car at night and caused significant damage and injury

He dealt with some serious legal issues. The accident wasn't his fault, but the lawyers came after him. Last I heard, it didn't look so good. I think this may end up costing him about $125,000 in fees, medical bills for the people he collided with to top it off the insurance had dropped him from the policy because of the accident report citing...dual fault, tint on front windshield impairing reaction time. OOPS!

edgalang,

I'm a Military guy and noticed you had a flag on your passenger rear door window . I'm glad to see you are displaying our beautiful Flag, but keep in mind the proper way to display a Flag on the right hand side of a vehicle is so that the stars (blue field) needs to be in the upper RIGHT hand corner as you are looking at it. As the vehicle in motion going forward, the flag should appear as if it's blowing in the wind. On the left side, it's good to go, but on the right side is where its reversed.

I know there may be some flames here and appear as nit pickin, but just take a look at the right hand side of a plane or bus and you'll see what I mean. Some folks take that really serious, I'm not that hard core about it, just an FYI from me to you in case some crazy person calls you out in a negative way.

 

well now i've heard all this... i think imma pass on this mod.. and pick up some lexol... will this help my dash and my side door panels as well?

 

Lexol and one of those reflective sun shields from Wal Mart work perfect. I use that combo. The size you need is called "Jumbo" believe me, the regular one is too short and your visors will barely keep it up.

 

I felt the same way too...but the sticky was only on one side so it wasn't reversable. I've gone ahead and removed the flags a year later since one side (passenger) faded faster than the driver side, making them look weird.

Funny thing is I put it the flags there since I didn't have an A-TL sticker to put on there originally. Now that the flags are gone, I still don't have an A-TL sticker. What's even more funny is that I even tried to contact the owner of ATL & AW but no-one seemed to be interested in handing out free advertisements. Weird huh?

Until I get reversable flags or an ATL/AW sticker, I think I'll leave it blank for now.

 

Yo some sweet looking rides in here, but where i live ( Cape Cod, Mass) if i have my windsheild tinted cops around here will cuff me in before you can say TINTED WINDOWS lol.

 

Sorry bout that Edgalang. Did not mean to hijack your thread. I did give you props on the tint tho before I stated talking flag. I'm not sure if they even make flags with sticky on the back so that people can display them right way if putting them on the pass side.

No disrespect man, glad you are a patriot like me tho. Oh yeah, nice tint

 

It's not as light as you think. It was taken on a very sunny day. I don't have any close ups in cardomain but I do in fotki. Problem is fotki pics don't stay viewable in this forum. If you want closer shots go to Fotki.com/slytls. I'll try attaching links but they may not work.
