Windshield tint strip advice
Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2012 3:07 pm
Hey guys, I am taking the Solara in to get my left brakelight retinted because it bubbled pretty bad in one spot by the turn signal bubble (shop is doing it for free). I am also having them put in a strip of tint on my windshield.
How dark should I have the strip? My current tint all around is 32% with 15% put over that. This mathematically equals less than 5% of tint but it seems slightly lighter than 5% (or I am just getting used to it). Should I get the strip in 5% or 15%? Also, should I have a curved strip or a straight one? And should I try going below the AS1 line? In FL, as long as the strip is above the AS1 line and is "transparent" it is legal. And how should I deal with the dot matrix near the rear view mirror?
