Just Tinted my Windshield

middleagedhippie · 04-11-2012, 02:27 PM

with a product called Llumar Air Blue. Got tired of the heat and the glare from the strong Florida Sun, and its only April. Best modification I have made to my car was tinting, with Pinnacle Ceramic on the sides and back and now the Air Blue on the Windshield. I have no problems using polarized sun glasses with this product and no problem seeing where I am going.
Highly recommend it for you Southerners.

I have that on my front too, it's impossible to notice you even have tint from the outside. Does help slighly reduce heat in the summer.

No point in pics

mashimarho · 04-11-2012, 03:56 PM

I would get it.... But, only to darken the window, but that's illegal.
No point in getting ceramic here; not hot enough.

RupertPupkin · 04-11-2012, 04:20 PM

Pics please OP. Or one of there others saying you have it. Would like a little something on front

Take a photo in the sun, it's almost impossible to tell. The rear window tint along with the shade and black interior makes your front look darker in that photo.

RupertPupkin · 04-11-2012, 04:57 PM

What are the other windows tinted? What interior color?

What percent is this llumar air blue?

I think it's 80%.... Llumar air blue 80 is the full name I think.

Worked with it a few times

///Mik3 · 04-11-2012, 07:22 PM

i did the same with geoshield iris 70 ceramic. Not really noticable at all, but does help reduce heat.

hakmazter · 04-12-2012, 12:39 AM

I just got my Bimmer done. 35% on all the windows and 50% on the windshield. Would have loved to go darker, but I am older now and don't want to be pulled over every 5 minutes. I really like how it looks.

Glad I didn't do a 1980s glare strip across the top.....

I want to get my windshield done with a light ceramic tint, but I already have 5% on the sides and back and don't want to push my luck and get pulled over for it. It's just so damn hot down here and it isn't even summer yet.

The Air Blue is ceramic,and lets in about 78% of the light, screens 99* of the UV and 48% of infared.

I've got 15% rear windows, 28% front windows and air blue on the Windshield. Its virtually undetectable on the Windshield, but makes a big difference with heat and some glare.

Highly recommend it for you Southerners.

Is it legal to tint your windshield in Florida? I live in philly and we cant even have the side windows tinted. Not legally anyway. Looks nice though. Wish I was able to do that here.

No, not legal on windshield, but not detectable, although you can get medical exemption. I'm from philly and the sun is far stronger in florida.

I just got 3m Crystalline 70% done on the windshield. 50% all around. It looks almost untouched. The windshield looks unchanged and the 50% Crystalline looks like factory tint. The heat rejection is awesome. I'm too old to be sweated by the cops so this is the way to go for me...
