this particular windshield tint is finally legal. i got quoted $191.25.
thoughts on this? it'd be nice to finally have all around heat/UV protection

you know, thats not such a bad idea. traveling to revision and back to ewa in traffic is killer in the sun. i think i might do this, but kinda pricey. auto trim does the same for cheaper i think.

i guess it depends if you want that air blue tint or another type of ceramic tint. there are shops that are doing ceramic for about $125 - $140
also make sure the shop tests to see if your windshield comes tinted from the factory. the new tint might make it drop below the 70% threshold.

i got it. there is noticeable distortion right after the installation, but it does diminish as the tint completely dries out. the car also seems to cool off faster after being parked in the sun. from outside the car you can tell that there is some sort of tint on the front but it doesn't scream pull me over. i would recommend it, hope this helps. the weird thing is that TNT put this on my car last year but i guess it's legal only now.

wait, im confused now, am i correct when in thinking that the new law allows tint so long as its above 70%? so i dont technically have to go with T&T's expensive pricing?
and yea mildse7en, i actually called them up, turns out they installed it onto many cars thinking it was legal at the time but they got in trouble for it because of the law so they stopped offering it. its all good now tho.
and yea justin, you should get it, driving in from ewa's gotta be horrible in your car.

Don't do it man. That tint isn't so great as it doesn't block out much heat or if any at all. I was at AL's Tinting today and they were pulling that tint off of a car because the owner didn't feel a difference.

well we really cant beat the heat here... and as for 'the guy'~ i wouldnt trust the word of someone who pays someone else to take tint off... but... i would think for guys making the eva runs it would at least help cut the glare. 70%+ is better than nothing.

so my question now is which should i go with? air blue or ceramic?
i'd rather not pay almost $200 to tint my front windshield when im sure i could get ceramic tint for half that.
oh and i broke my sideview folding mirror...you guys think it'll be covered under warranty? i checked it out myself and it seems like the spring that holds the assembly together and allows it to fold snapped...
so i just called servco...anyone wanna lend me $600? :'(

Ceramic tint will block out alot (if not all) UV rays. It also allows for the interior to cool down alot faster. I have ceramic all around in both my cars and notice a huge difference.
If you're even considering ceramic, you should do everything, including windshield (even if its clear). Windshield is the largest area of glass and is where most of the heat comes in. No sense in putting ceramic if you're not gonna do the windshield.
Just my $.02.
