I don't understand why people tint their windshields.

Isn't that illegal in most states?

Also, the only time i see people is from my mirror if i ever want to look into their windshield.

Its called Clear Bra/Xpel, and of course its costly but then again so are our cars.

One being it is easier to see out of it during the day, less glare, less sunlight to come in especially when it is really sunny out. Some people find it easier to drive at night time without the glare of other oncoming cars, and some find it easier to drive when it is raining out with the window tinted. I have 5% all around my car and 35% on the windshield and it is easier for me to see out at night time without the glare of other vehicles and to see at night in general.

I prefer mine bra-less and I'm not liking the tint-BUT- the suede looks nice. I was just thinking of seat inserts and headliner in Alcantara.

I thought it was illegal to have your windshield tinted?

Depending on the county you can get away with a couple of mods but with a tinted windshield you'd get pulled over in 2 seconds by any cop that's not blind.

I'm a big fan of the windshield tint, I have mine tinted at 50%, cuz 35% I feel might be a little too dark for me, but I love the added benefit of sun glare reduced. NICE CAR!

I am planning to do 50% as well on my windshield sometime down the road.....

Where did you get the suede done? Just doors, or anything else?


Looks good!

I have never been pulled over for the tint I'm not really too caring about cops and their BS. The tints 20% all the way round. With the tinted windshield, it does stop glare the only thing that really sucks about it is the sleeping factor.... it makes it look pretty dark out on a beautiful sunny day and as you drive you tend to get muuuuch more tired than you would on a car with out it. I did all the work on the car myself except for the tint.... and yes the only reason i have the lil bra on is so i dont chip the hood and I dont like the clear bras.... get a pebble large enough itll take the paint n the clear bra with it.I will take a pic of the ceiling its in suede too. and the pillars.

I'm a little confused......so rock chips only impact the hood? What about the rest of the bumper and front fenders?.....

for the love of (insert your favorite deity here).... please stop kicking the bottom half of your door pannel and ask your passengers to do the same!! the suede looks great, but all those scuffs really take away from it all.
