bronze window film tint question

Anyone knows of a bronze tint that looks or matches the look of factory bronze glass found on 10th AEs and other models? Thinking of tinting a windshield lol

I don't know about the states, or whether the car is a road car for that matter. But tinting a wind screen is illegal in ontario, canada.

well, i suppose it's not illegal until you get caught.

I hope you have some awesome 24k hid's to go along with it for night time driving as well.

If you use REALLY light tint, they will usually not fuss, although it is still illegal.

If you are doing a dark sun strip at the top with tint, it cannot go below the AS1 line or 4 inches if the AS1 line isn't there.

I'm thinking 50%. just a touch of bronze should be ok, I'm sure cops won't even notice .

A trooper might nail you for 50%. I'd say go less tint if you can.

The DPD won't give a **** though.
