Front windshield tint

GOLFFRR · 08-27-2013, 07:17 AM

light tint is nice on the front windshield however if you wear polarized sunglasses watch out for some tints bc you will get a rainbow effect

That is correct and HUD works better with tint!

Option is £250 in the UK and IS compatible with a HUD.

US doesn't get the OEM dark glass/privacy glass either.

blimey, you guys in the US are missing out on a few options there.
do you have to go the ED route to get these options then?

I don't think so, since the ED cars are still US spec.
But they do get the cheapest BMW's in the world though.

and the cheapest fuel as well!

but Don't get me started, because it's priced per litre, we never think of the price per gallon anymore, I've just figured out I payed £6.90 per gallon of diesel on the motorway last week!!!

So here are some pics with the tinted windshield. Its a 50% tint, not sure which brand, i guess 3M. Keeps the interior cooler, and during sunny day its hard to notice. Unfortunately,I don't have a picture under the sun.

sanyomats · 08-28-2013, 03:00 PM

Thanks for the info and for posting these pics...I think it is very noticeable...in a very good way!!!

pillpusher84 · 08-28-2013, 05:48 PM

I've got 50% on the windshields of all my cars ... Don't really worry about the law ... It looks good

Artur-F10 · 08-28-2013, 06:07 PM

Yes ,on this pics it's noticeable , but I like it and was planning to go even darker , 35%.
Never had problems with the police because of the windshield. It's not noticeable when you are right in front of the car. It gets noticeable only because of the reflection.

Artur-F10... sorry to deviate from the thread.. but are you coming to the F10 meet on Saturday?

Artur-F10 · 08-28-2013, 06:37 PM

No... Promised my family to go to a trip to Santa Barbara

TheBlackGT · 08-28-2013, 10:06 PM

Wait, but what happens if you get into an accident? Is it automatically your fault?

of course no, tint doesnt make you guilty for an accident. especially 50% tint, its just to keep the interior cooler. But don't do limo tint on the windshield lol

Your post sounds like a commercial from the 1950s
