Ceramic tint for windshield
What's the lightest color you can get? I just spoke with a local installer who normally has 55% but said he could get 70% if I wanted. Would the tint have any negative impact on the HUD?

They have a light tint and no tint. . I did not do my vette so I can not speak about the hud. This is mad for the front window.https://jagtint.com/automotive-window-tinting/

Suntek makes their CIR film in an 80% iirc.
I did clearplex on the outside and 60% CIR on the interior windows (30% on rear).
Not sure huge difference between a 3M Xpel or Suntek on the hi-line window film products.

Just to be clear if some don’t know. Windows come from factory with 70% tint (printed on glass in TINY letters). I do realize that ceramic tint is supposed to cut HEAT also & “normal” tint only cuts light transmission.😎 Some states allow no windshield tint or it’s restricted to above the line of sight (forget the technical term). PS: Found it, the AS1 line.

Yes, do check your state laws. I've a friend who moved in-state and was stopped the first week in his Vette with just a thin "Corvette" text emblem across the top of his. NO add-on wind-shield "tint," at all allowed. All the best.
