We want to clarify a question we get frequently - do we tint full windshields?  

The answer is no. 

It is Illegal, plain and simple

​

  • It is FEDERALLY Illegal to tint the windshield below the AS1 line printed at the top. Federal NHTSA Codes 3.49 and 205 prohibit the windshield from being less than 70% light transmission, which is already is 70%, application of ANY tint will fail this code.  https://www.nhtsa.gov/

  • All PA State Inspection Codes prohibit tinting the windshield darker than the factory 70% below the AS1 line. 

  • Failing PA State Inspection will force you to remove it

  • Most of the electronics are under the dashboard, and the water needed to tint the front window risks exposure to that and damage, the risk exceeds what we can charge.

  • We will be fined for applying the tint. 

  • Even light tint will affect your night time visibility and reduce safety for you and others in your path. 

  • A windshield is laminated; cleaning and working on the inside surface risks scratching it, the cost of replacing it is usually prohibitive and not worth what we can charge to tint it.

​

We know it looks "cool" to do the full windshield but for many reasons we will not!
