Window tint (windshield)
YES the whole windshield. Ive tinted (limo) my windshield on several of my cars and was thinking of doing my vette. the only issue is i have the hud and wonder if i would be able to see it?

BTW before the flamming starts. I know its against the law and i know visablity is slim to none at night without corrective lighting(aftermarket hyperlights) inwhich i have. but my car is a track/trailer queen only.

Had an impala ss years back and if I remember right had 55 or 60 percent on the front. Really knocked down the uv kept the interior cool living in FL. Don't know how it will effect the HUD though.

I would suggest you get a piece of tint and place it on the windshield where the HUD is and see what it looks like, very simple.

His post says the WHOLE WINDSHIELD. ANd it is illegal in all states from my readings. Yes you can have the top 4 to 6 inches a darker tint. The OEM windshields come like that.

Edit* Are you sure you are not trying to say "Illegal" as opposed to "LEGAL"?

It would be prudent to check with your local laws regarding the tinting of ANY of your car windows. However, in tinting the windshield itself, visibility for the driver becomes a very serious issue, especially after dusk. Be safe.

I have my full windshield tinted, I needed a medical waiver for the state of VA to get it though....It cuts down on the suns heat significantly. I havent been bothered by the police in the vette, but my camry has the same tint and I have been pulled a few times, but they let me go when they see my registration(in VA it has Sunshading written on it). I will never have a car again with out it.....sorry about the size for you dial up guys....http://memimage.cardomain.net/member.../2172148_1.jpg
