I do! Using 3M Crystalline 70%. It's great! Really keeps the heat down and cuts UV, too.

I should of did the clear one. But the 5%'s are ceramic. Have them on the vette they really do cut the heat

I always tint my front shield, 50%

BeyondVision · 05-02-2020, 12:18 PM

Tinting the front windshield makes a huge difference. I have 55% ceramic on this one.

Even a nice clear ceramic tint I'm sure would keep the heat out well.

I always do 35% on front windshield. It's the biggest glass in your ride so it lets in a lot of heat.

Florida cops hate tinted windshields.

fricfracfrank · 05-03-2020, 06:20 PM

I've had 5% before....never again. Even with NY street lights the windows had to go down to see the curb in the side view mirrors when parking.

Pardon the dirty ass car, my pressure washer arrived today and will finally get washed at home.

Love those wheel covers! Great idea to have location on them.

I use a rack and run a security cable through them so probably wouldn't work for me, but can you share the link?

No, they don't cover the face at all. And yeah, I tested it out and you can lift with the handle. Just make sure you have it on fairly snug and it won't shift around.
