Huh????? Always drove it backward?

Tinting the windshield is stupid. Kids around here do it too. Why make your line of sight more difficult to see through. If you can get him down even more it seems like a sweet deal!

In NY, probably just the styling. A lot of people tint out of a need. The difference it makes here is unbelievable. I've seen 185 degrees inside the car here many times.
My black 95 suburban hit 202. Bubbled window like AMC Pacers- forget it.

All my cars, always got limo (2-5%) on all windows except 40-40% on windshield. Until my hummer, only limo top strip, nothing on bottom. That's only because it's a flat & verticle windshield. (% refers to how much light goes through.

Any cab forward car or truck will not let a dash survive 4 years here if not protected. The inventor of the dashmat dash cover lived guess where. Met him- nice guy.

There is a law on the books about tinted windows here, but most the cop cars even tint the front door and windshield here.

Mine all have 5% sides and a 2% 8" brow. Ex highway patrol owns the shop

Not arguing the merits of heat rejection, but not sold on the idea of limiting forward visibility; especially at night. Seems more of an easy way to build college tuition for a lawyer's kid when a nighttime collision occurs.

The way I look at is that if it is that great of an idea, then South Florida drivers would hop on it. But they don't, and at best do just a band across the top of the windshield (unless of course things changed in the past couple years and this is now the 'in' thing).

Definitely to each their own though

Yeah night vision is dropped, and a dimming dash light is needed. Usually, just the strip across the windshield is done. What happens is outside light is limited better and you can actually see outside easier once all windshield is done instead of all except windshield.

I know it sounds wrong. I didn't believe it either until I experienced it. The only way to give an example is Turning on your interior light at night puts more light inside the cab making it harder to see outside.as soon as you limit the light in the cab again you see better outside where it is lit up.

I have to retract "all" of my cars. The last couple cars I bought only got the 90% titanium on the windshield- it stops most of the heat but you can't tell anything is there. When I cleaned out our suburban to list it for sale I pulled the extra tint down to "normal" levels. Most people don't want it. Now if I could just find the dang title it would be gone already.

I dont disagree with the lawyer thing. Anything out of the normal gets played against you. Funny thing is so does being average "he didn't do anything extra at all trying to..."

Geez, stay on track. What would you pay for a clean 6.5 hull?

I have a nationwide tint exemption, driven with dark tinted windshield for over 10 years, needs replacement now as it is flaking now trying to get the transitional type lightens at night and goes darker as sun increases. The thermal camera w/heads-up display works great w/blacked out windows.

Most States including Florida have statutory schemes that prohibit windshield/screen tinting. Vehicles exempt to the tint statutes have a certificate that goes with the title.

How do you get a tint exemption?

 

[JayTheCPA]

I know it sounds wrong. I didn't believe it either until I experienced it.

Definitely not arguing. Am still seeing this as making as much sense as wearing sun glasses as night though. Speaking of which, my brother in his teenage years actually got pulled over for driving with sunglasses at night; not exactly following the speed limit in a convertible might have had something to do with it too But I digress . . .

In the end, I prefer to have Bambi on the grill, and not the grille

Check your States motor vehicle statutes "tint exemption's" you may find something there the usual exemption; government vehicles, PMC types with active contract etc..
