Cheap Basturd Question
Has anyone tried to put auto window tint on their windshields? I've got quite a collection of windshields and was thinking of trying some progressively darker tint on one of the clear windshields for some different effects. I was wondering how it would hold up and what it looks like.

How so? Most tint guys only get 100.bucks to do a truck (3 windows) bet you could get it done for 35.00 easy, Ive thought about doing it to my stock shield too. If your a do it yourself, a tint kit from auto zone is only 19.95

Curved plastic will eventually start to crack if tinting material is applied....I've seen it!

RE: Cheap Basturd Question
I tried the cheap route on my short shield. Don't try it. It was a pain in the A** and the curve of the shield affected the ability of the glue and I could not get the freakin bubbles out and it looked like crap!
So what did I do, I scuffed it with 1200 grit sandpaper and painted it on the inside. It looks cool and being it's short I look over it anyway. It obviously is not going to work on a shield you have to look thru! LOL

RE: Cheap Basturd Question
Yeah that's what I was wondering about. I don't want to ruin a good windshield. I was thinking of having a gradual light to dark tint from top to bottom but I guess the plastic crap is not such a good idea.
