tinted front windshield - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

surferbarney · 06-20-2009, 05:51 PM

I haven't seen any threads with any pics on this yet so I'm posting a couple pics of my car. I had the front windshield tinted today, I think it makes the whole car look a lot better since the tint on all windows now is the same, plus it goes great with the black stripes. I know it's illegal but whatever, it looks good. I'm probably gonna take the windshield wipers off tomorrow since I don't plan on ever driving it in the rain and I always use Rain-X anyways, should make for a cleaner look.

Oh and I know the stripes and car in general look dirty, that's cuz it got rained on today :(

Haha, I'm actually gonna try driving it around the neighborhood tonight to see how it is, if it's bad I'll just drive my mustang if I plan on being out at night. The lights are pretty bright so I think I'll be fine. My brother has the same tint on his car and he drives around at night all the time.

All windows are tinted 20%. I just went for a drive around 10:30 to see how it is driving at night. I took it down a road with no lights on it and on the highway. It really was't bad at all. With lights on the roads, it looks pretty normal, you just can't see quite as far as you normally can. With no lights on the roads, it still isn't too bad because the camaro has very bright headlights. I still won't be driving it very much at night. During the daytime, it's no problem at all, it's just like wearing sunglasses.

Better drive it like an alter boy cause you'll be drawing alot of attention and tinting windshields and removing wipers is illegal. Don't give them any reason to pull you over. Haha! Looks schweeeeet!

No windshield wipers is illegal too? Even if I'm not driving in the rain? That's stupid. I am gonna keep them in the trunk in case I need to put them back on quickly. I know cops are gonna be all over this thing. I wonder how long til I get pulled over...

You will eventually have to pay a big fine and be forced to have that removed..I hope you know..

This is just asking for trouble in many ways. Its going to open the door for the State Police Officer scrutinizing the rest of the windows as well. I have been all through this before and ended up having to pull all the film off and having to re-do it at the legal limit. Also, I can't tell you how many times I have put down my drivers window at night as a result of tint just to see out before I pull out in traffic or see a curb when turning left. The windshield that dark is just asking for an accident at night.

Wipers are required in PA. Part of the yearly inspection is to test the wipers to see if they work, although alot of stations don't bother. Check your laws in MD.
