solara driver99 save yourself the hassle and take your car to a shop.

as for sahuddleston, is it really worth shelling out the extra $100 to be harassed by cops and endangering other drivers. the car doesnt look any better w the windshield tinted anyways.

Go to a profesionnal shop, the tint will look better, the quality will be better and it will be right the first time.

Wow it must be dangerous for the driver and for other peoples to tint the windshield..

In Canada that's pretty illegal and it NEED to be illegal everywhere.

Here we can only tint or put a decal of 150mm (6 ") on the top of the windshield.

Here in the states it is also illegal to tint front windshields unless you have a doctors note. Some states do allow for driver and passenger windows to be tinted but only to a certain percentage.

its my car, and along with 90% of solaraguys i think it looks great. and yes, it is worth the extra 100. after all the modification ive done to my car whats another 100? and for the record, i have never had any issues seeing out at night. its just like any other tint - you get used to it. as far as the legality, i dont care. in the future keep negative comments to yourself. we are here to encourage one another and share useful and pertinent information. your comments on my ride fit neither criteria. stop sippin on the haterade bro. you know you love it :lol:

I would tint my windshield! If i had the money to afford a ticket every once and awhile.

Even so, most people have illegal tint on their side windows (VA, 50% legal. I have 30/12)...who follows the rules these days anyways....
