yea, i was wonderin if anyone here has tinted their front windshield? i was considering tinting mine, maybe 50% tint, i know its illegal, but ive seen people have it done, an i've asked them if they ever got pulled, and they havent, so yeah, any ideas

lancem has 35 or 20 on his windshield. it looks really nice, but imagine getting into a car accident where your windshield breaks; when the cop sees it, he'll definately blame you for not being able to see properly

yea but i didnt plan on tinting it too dark, 35 is pretty noticable, but im just thinking 50% if there is 50% tint

You can get a doctors note saying that you're light sensitive and you'll be ok....



OT, but your car almost looks like its painted black cherry in your av. :)

be carefull 1 out of 10 windshields when getting tinted break(pops) 50% would look tight tho i did top strip 5% pretty low tho bout 7 inches or 9.

Would any doctor do it if you ask?

yeah that would be good idea. more sun block. just get the lighter one but nice brand so you don't get any problems later on....good luck

I have no clue, but i'm guessing a opthalmologist (sp?) would have to do it...

Why/how does the windshield break when getting tinted? Does that statistic apply to regular windows?

I found the form you need to tint to whatever % you want
MV-80W from DMV

...u want to tint the entire front windshield?......u gotta be crazy to do that.....

a doctor will only write you a note after they've examined you thoroughly. he ain't gonna put his name on a legally binding piece of paper unless he's sure about it.

yea thats what lance does. he has a doctor's note that qualifies as an affidavit for the state of louisiana stating he needs all his windows tinted because of his sensitivity to light. i think he has 20% on the windshield and 15% all around.. i forget

I asked my tint guy about doing the lightest tint available on the front. He told me that he could do it (illeagally) but that he would not reccomend it. The reason? If you have a wreck and the adjustor comes to look at your car and sees ANY tint whatsoever then he can refuse to pay due to the fact that you restricted your vision. I left mine with the legal 6 inch strip.
