Re: Does the windshield get removed when tinting?

Hmm... I just realized that during certain times of the day even at 7% on the driver and passenger side doors people can still see inside. I wonder if doing the windsheild will make it darker or should I just double up on the 7%?

With safety aside, tinting the windshield will definitely make it darker. The more light you block out from entering the car, the darker your tint will look. Tint will reflect light from whichever side the light is coming from. Doubling tint will also darken it, but it usually voids the warranty.

You could try a neutral colored film on the windshield. 3M makes a nice looking neutral film you could get in 50% that doesn't have the smoke look so you're less likely to get pulled over. Its has a sublte reflective look, not like cheap chrome. It still cuts out a good amount of light, heat, and UV. It's actually made for commercial and residential glass so it is difficult to heat shrink on curved automobile glass, but it can be done.
