"yeah these guys are right..I tinted the small plexi wind deflector on a honda S2000...I told the guy it would bubble from gasout but he still wanted it done...2 months later I was removing it cause it was bubbled...rest my case."
"if the plexi window doesnt get out in the elements, tinting it will work fine."
"Ya if it doesn't get any heat then it should be fine. Plexi is a petroleum product and when it gets hot it emits gas causing bubbling."
