My 2011 didn't come with the sunshade tint on the windshield, and was thinking of tinting it. Has anyone else done this?

Weird that ur windshield didn't come with it. I would be taking this up with my dealer and getting a new windshield. Tinting it will prob look like crap.

Did they even come with the tint? lol
I talked to my tint guy about it before and he said that with the how low the windshield is (it really is) that it could make visibility kinda harder.

I know people who have it done on other vehicles and I dont think it looks all that great, i would prefer having a light tint done over the entire windshield if that is possible for you.

We have 20% on the sides and 55% on the front. It looks VERY dark in these photos

Pardon the dirt, It will never look like this again but had to get the windows done, dont like driving in a fish bowl LOL.. still trying to get through the tack of 87 the dealer filled it up with :(

That front windshield is sooooo sick!!!!! I would get pulled over right away in Nebraska. That is illegal as hell here. I wish I could do that and not get a ticket.

My biggest gripe about this car they could have spent a few bucks more and used shaded solar ray type glass across the top. I hate tint strips and eyebrows so I just live with it.

anyone been pulled over for having tint on your windshield? it looks great but i would think the cops would mess with you about it

Indpowr · 02-16-2011, 05:54 PM

So far with 40k miles not yet.

A cop did use a device on her windows and they can back illegal but since she got a speeding ticket he let her off on it.

Jram1588 · 02-16-2011, 06:47 PM

A cop used his device on my tint and it came out to 3% all around. Pretty sure my windshield is 15% too. I got off without a ticket because I know alot of cops in the area but I do get stopped occassionally.
