Window Tint w/ Windshield

Did your installer cut around the dot matrix on the front windshield?

If possible could you post a picture of where the tint meets the dot matrix. Thanks!

 

That looks great. It would not be legal in Ohio. Here is my tint job.



Take those ugly hub caps off.

 

20% is required to be affective, and its not legal anywhere,, all you have to do if pulled over by the "officer" is roll down all windows and they usually dont say anything
what % is the windshield?? 75?

 

I got 18 all around on my car. However, I didn't get the windshield done. I'm kinda thinking if I should get 75% like you did. It would probably cut down the sun a good bit.

 

I got AirBlue... nearly transparent but blocks the heat as good as "dark" tint... love it on my front windshield.

 

When my windshield tint went on (twice... see reason below), they went over the dot matrix. No problems for 3 months thus far, and the more the car sits in the sun, the better the tint adheres to the windshield & dot matrix (no air pockets, no fading, etc). The same goes for the BMW guys with the rear windows and the dot matrix on that.

I have 24% dual layer all around on my car, and put 75% windshield tint back on. Like I've said a few times in other posts, the Prius windshield angle is so low that putting tint on the windshield actually makes it look 1 step darker than it really is. I originally had 35% all around and 50% on my windshield. The 50% looked as dark, if not slightly darker than the 35% on the windows. A little bit too dark for me, but nice if you're driving under the sun. I went darker on the sides and lightened up the front and now it's much better.... resembles my Land Cruiser with 20% on the sides and 50% front windshield.
