Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Anyone tint their front windshield

I was thinking about tinting it 50% because the sun is always in my eyes in the morning on the way to school/work. What do you guys think? I think I can get it done for $15 which is pretty cheap too. And it is lifetime guaranteed.

I'd do it...but 2 reasons holding me back:
1) Illegal
2) Will affect my visibility at night

just tint the top man... a strip over. you get wut i mean?

dotn tint the whole piece, it's gonna fuck up ur visibility at night a lot...

something call sunglass

haha i would but i would need prescription sunglasses. That and I don't really like sunglasses unless I'm snowboarding.

Is 50% tint gonna fuck up my visibility that much during the night. 50% is the lightest tint there is though rite? So far i have the following tint:

rear winshield -> 15%
2 rear triangles -> 5%
front side windows -> 35%
front windshile -> none

yeah, I got mine done a while back after my windows were shot out.. I told the tinter to go ahead and put a strip across the top of my front windshield.. COOL

you should tint your rear window and triangles more, then get a strip for the front

Go 5% in the front

windshield tint 50% = 100% illegal -at least in CA-
Buy good UV sunglasses

contact lenses + regular sunglasses

i have 50% on my side windows visibility is pretty good but the cops would recognize it for sure.

you're from Union city? im surprised i havent seen you're car

I would get all the windows tinted the same amount, not all different percentages all around the car. Makes it look more even. Personally, i would put 35% all around car, and not worry too much about the front. Just get a strip across the top part of the windshield. Just my opinion.

ive had it done completely in my cavalier, and will have it done again in my celica. I do 35% all the way top to bottom, and love it. Reduces glare. And looks really clean. I never got a ticket for it. Frankly i dont think they can even meter it to give you a ticket. It takes a skilled tinter to do it. I paid like 60 bucks to have it done.

Hey buddy. I had the front window on my 01 jeep wrangelr tinted. Bess thing i did. Man it was spiffy. Not to dark but blocked allto out. My dad took my celica to get tinted and didnt tell tell them to do the whoel front, just the strip. I am also in your boat aobut perscription. But i sucked it up, and got Polorized Oakly perscription sunglass. Were a small fortunone but i wear them everywhere. Only bad this is it makes everyhting rainbow through the tint. So when i had the jeep, everycar infront of me had the color changing paint I woudl say get it done, but get it done light, and get the strip. Then go get youself the perscription sunglasses and let the trippyness begin

ps: sorry for bad typing

Only tint the top strip of your windshield, our you will be screwed driving at night, and you will probably get tickets for sure.

Forget the tint. You should look into having the windshield shaved off completely. That would look tight!

haha^^^ or a nice light coat of black spray paint will look fast and furious also

sounds great As it is i think toyota got clearcoat overspray all over my window. Ever since i got it it has little specks all of the winshield. Its clear do it doenst matter to much. And i think its to late, they may blame it on somethign else becasue i waited. What do you think?

Get some Prescription Oakleys, they're the $hit.
