bassmaster Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) I finally replaced my windshield after several rock chips & cracks. I had a strip before but decided to do a full tint on this one. Debated between 35 and 50%. Went with 50 this morning and so far I really like it! Pre wash.. Super dirty First bath in 1.5 months! Also, other tint is just stock rears, and 20% fronts, for reference Edited September 29, 2015 by bassmaster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03SSBoy Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 ive been wanting to tint the windshield but I have a crack. But it looks good!!! darker but not noticeable to cause attention from police. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Exactly!! 35 looks good in the day, but the window is actually black and sticks out like a sore thumb. The 50 isn't black, but more of a dark smoke so it's just noticeable but not sore thumb status. I have a lot of dark roads by me, and without seeing the inside of 35 at night I didn't wanna risk it being too dark to see good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

90zxdriver Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Mine is 35 and I wish I had done 50. It's great on the crazy hot and bright Florida days but it is really dark at night. With my windows being 0, at night, I have to constantly drop the side windows to back-up or pull out from a side street. I'm thinking about having the windshield redone.

BLOWN SS/T Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 In the last 10 years out of the cars I remember owning I've had it done to atleast 8 or 9 cars. All have been done with 50% on windshield, first time I tried a 35% because thats what was available and ripped it off the next day. 50% is perfect I recommend it to all my friends and they like it too. I might redo the SS with a 35% 3M or if I can find for a good deal id like to try the 40% 3M crystalline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart's SS Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 I had mine tinted at 20% for a long time. I miss it. It was obviously really hard to see at night. The cops in my area started pulling me over for it so, I had to get rid of it. When I move out of my town, I will replace it with a 50% and 5% eyebrow.

I CORNER Posted July 10, 2019 Report Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) I went with the thicker Crystaline 3M tint in 70% transmittance, due to its total block of infrared (heat) in hot Florida sun. It works fine in the SSS truck with the very bright LED headlights that I use. However, I did it in my C6Z too and regret it, as the factory HID lighting on that car is not so good. I hit a large racoon in the Vette last August causing $2600 damage to front bumper cladding, fog lamp and carbon fiber splitter. Now I am afraid to drive it at night, as a dead Armadillo in the road can due extensive damage to the car, which the truck would simply drive over. Oh, is that a Street Scene Cowl Induction steel hood? If so how long have you had it? I got mine painted, but since it is a double panel hood for strength, which cannot be painted between the panels without factory dipping, it began to rust from the inside out at about 1.5 years after painting. Now I am looking for a fiberglass hood to replace it. Edited July 10, 2019 by I CORNER Ask about your hood (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
