Roadster specific question (please don't move).

So I think a few people have tinted the wind deflector. If you tinted it in limo shade, did it make any difference since it's so low?

If you tinted the rear window in limo shade, how bad is the rear view? I know about night time on a regular car but since the window is so small (and the mirrors compared to my truck) theres limited view during the day. So how bad is the view trying to change lanes?

Oh, does anyone have the TWM phantom shifter? The one time I didn't park in the shade with the top down I wanted to get an all leather ****. I like the phantom concept, just don't like the ball shape.

One more oh yeah. Since the door windows slide up and down when you enter and exit, if you have side window tint has it come off?

 

i used 15% sides and rear including the wind deflector and 50% whole front windshield

No problems and looks awesome!

 

^ That's crazy! :O

I did 3M Crystaline (extremely expensive but crystal clear).

90% Windshield to keep with communist CA law and regret it. It feels absolutely no different than without it. I can feel the heat through the windshield. Now it's just way to expensive to do over.

The side windows are 70% and I don't regret it as it was more for heat rejection than privacy. You could easily do 70% windshield and 50% sides, which I did on my truck.

Now, I need to decide on the rear since I never finished. I have 5% on the truck which is love(with 4 doors)/hate(backup up or parking at night). So either 20% or %35 and I can't choose.

 

You tinted the whole windshield? If so do the wipers scratch it?

 

Tint is always on the inside. And, as for the auto up/down feature of the door windows, which the OP asked about, no issues there.

 

wow

 

The 90% wasn't worth the expense (stupid CA). There just isn't enough heat rejection to justify the cost of doing a windshield, since there's a premium.

I finally did the 40% rear glass, which is the darkest in Crystaline and legal in all states (I believe) but I think I should have went 20% color stable 3M instead.

 

(I drive a coupe) When I had 20% on my sides it was significantly more difficult to see side view mirrors. I ended up taking it off and not retinting(still have 20% rear)
I have 35% on my other car and makes it look nicer(like it's meant to be there) and doesn't bother me at night

 

No problem with tint on the side windows.
