Looks good regardless. I'm going to tint my front windshield that's why I was wondering. That pic just gives me a good idea of how it will look. Thanks for posting

I'm still debating whether to do mine. Down here you need it but I wasn't overly happy when I did my C6. Whatever they used had a "funky" smell and they didn't do well around the dots on the back window. Until I see a C7 done up close I'll wait.

Yeah the guy warned me they often have problems with the rear windshield bubbling because of all the little dots and heating elements. Almost scared me out of it. But the guy did a really nice job, took his time and did it right. He told me if I had any problems with bubbling he would fix it.

Pro Tint in Plano did a great job on mine. 30% ceramic.

Had mine done over at Shademaker on Fowler. Owner did it himself. Great Guy! My car is on his website. I went 24% and contemplating doing my windshield as well. If your ever on the Cape stop bye.

I'll check out the place. BTW I did my windshield on my C6 but I always had the problem that when I had an oil change I had to tell the tech do not put stickers on my windshield. Plus half my family lives in the Cape so we're over there a lot.

Actually had no issues other than I could not use anything that stuck to the windshield like a GPS or inside stickers. No nightime problems. It was darker but also the headlight glare was less as well. But I think it is illegal so why push it.
