windsheild tint

RE: windsheild tint
If you are thinking about tinting the windshield for heat reduction, 3M makes a line of tint (I think it's called Crystalline) that is nearly invisible (90+ % light transmission) but it blocks UV so it cuts down on the heat quite a bit. I don't think anyone will notice it, much less write you a ticket for it.

I did my windshield in Crystalline 70; It's undetectable, cuts heat and glare very well, and ispretty much clear at night. Interior reflectivity is also low compared to other tints. I'm really pleased with it - but doing a windshield alone costs about $325.

Im looking to just darken my interior slightly. I think if I tint my windsheild a little, it will help darken the rest of my tint by allowing less light in the front. Does 70% add ANY darkness at all? From what I have heard is that its basically clear.

don't do it. there's a good reason why tinting your windshield (besides the top few inches) is illegal in almost every state. it blocks your ability to see clearly in low light and it's reckless to drive that way. you may think it looks cool but people have died from that sort of thing.

I've heard of the Crystalline stuff that just acts as a UV buffer without darkening the glass...would consider it but at the same time my state requires inspection stickers on the inside windshield and I'd be afraid the annual removal/replacement of the stickers would damage the film.
