Where to tint front windshield in GTA area?

liang · 07-31-2013, 07:24 PM

I'm looking to get my front windshield tinted 50%. I know this is illegal and many reputable tinters/tint companies won't do it.

Anyone know of a good tinter/tint company that will tint the front windshield? Feel free to PM me the details if you don't want to share publicly. I'm not looking for a kijiji special where they do a hack job...

That's a brilliant idea.

Why?

Should we keep an eye on the news?

Should be banned for trolling.

@Liang, it's a really bad idea. It's like always driving around with sunglasses on. Even at night. There's a reason why it's illegal to do so...

If u get the minimum tint it hardly affects the night driving, but provides a lot more privacy. Id recommend my tint guy, buy he passed away at 42 a couple of months ago. I'm gonna need to find somebody myself for the next car. If u find a good place pls let me know!

That's old school.

The way i did it is to get a negative polarized screen put on the windshield essentially a clear dot matrix. Add relay, capacitor and switch, some wiring involved. Once activated the positive charge changes the appearance of glass to a mirror effect. Chrome if you like.
Kinda pricey just parts alone but works great.
I should post up a DIY

Don't do it.

Ask your insurance company, they will do it for free.

Yes
You can shut it off also and it looks like normal.
I'm going to tap in a gain knob so it is adjustable.
