Didn't read anything about anyone tinting the whole windshield with clear tint. Anyone's my friend and I are going to limo tint my moonroof soon and clear tint my windshield. help control the heat better. What yall think?

 

wow thats not safe at all

 

why is it not safe? he's been tinting for 12 years. never had a problem with it.

 

wats clear tint...is that exactly wat it is. literally clear...window tint? that seems..pointless to me. hey sujak why is it not safe?

yeah clear. well if you're tinting your car what's the point if sun keeps coming through the windshield and moonroof. not really blocking the heat. so if you get everything you will get a bigger difference. yeah and it's literally clear. I'm going to check out the tint to see how clear.

 

uhm... i'm still confused, if its clear how is it going to make a difference?

The darkness is not what inhibits the heat from getting through. you can go from limo to 70% and have the same heat reduction, mirror like effect, and rays reduction.

&lt;--- idiot...huh never thought about that... and i've even done it before

learn somthin new everyday

 

Seems like a decent idea to me. I suppose if (God forbid) anything were to happen to your windscreen, it might also serve to stop it shattering on you and in your car.

 

yeeaah bwoy. learning is awesome.

yup. also if you do crash in a front end collision and it's a big impact, lean your body against the front of your car so you don't take the impact but just the pressure. you'll fly back in your seat after but atleast you don't get the crash impact.

still want to know why sujak says it's not safe though. I want to know his thoughts on it.

 

Yeah, i know what you mean. Whether in the heat of the moment of "an incident" you would have that thought process fast enough or not is perhaps another story. **** tends to happen very quickly with car crashes.

I'm guessing Sujak mis-read the post and thought you were dark tinting the front screen...?

haha yeah if you respond that fast you could. in regards to dark tinting the front, yeah i could see how that is unsafe but we'll see if or when he responds.

 

Yeah, brace yourself for a flurry of bad mouthing and insults.

You are right, that stuff is used to protect paint from stonechips and the like. People tend to wrap the front 1/3 of the car in it. It's popular with owners of high end cars (as shown on the site) because it's a crap load cheaper than a front end respray. Especially if you own something like a Phantom or a 599.

 

that makes sense..i didnt understand that either..something to look into. will it glare?? with the sunlight and stuff...like will it make normal viewing a little altered?

 

EM2_UK#1: oh I see

DsevenEm2: Cool. Well tints are designed to reduce glare so it should be less glare. I shouldn't be much difference in viewing as tinting with a darker tint except there are no changes to darkness.

 

Some tints have metallic particles in them to reflect the heat.

 

I suppose we never did here from sudjak eh? I was kinda looking forward to his answer as well... so when is the tint supposed to go on? I'd like to here about it once you get it done...

well keep posted. as soon as it's done will post up.

 

just do it. it seems reasonable enough but legal, i dont know. i could see someone who has sensitive skin or some kind of skin disorder having something like that.
