Tinted Glasses

[Saturn]

what would be a good place to get the front tint removed and how much wuld it cost? i am not the DIY kind.

Just peel it off. Don't worry, you can do it. All you need is opposable thumbs and basic hand eye coordination.

This ridiculous rule hopefully won't last.... But if it does, I remember KP offering a film that wasn't tinted, but reflected the UV rays... As far as i recall it was only for the front windscreen, but i guess it can be put n all windows to help keep the heat down...

Still doesn't offer the visual 'cool factor' that driving a car with tints around offers though... Sigh...

Can anyone clarify on the tint level permitted for rear side windows / rear windscreen?

I gather the earlier rule was anything is fine for rear/side, only front windscreen/ front side windows must be clear - has this changed?

according to this article

this is due to the 'high level of crime'

If this was in 2004, and we didn't hear anything from them for 6 years, then hopefully history will repeat its self...

what we need is a tinting mechanism where the % of tint can be changed electronically

you drive with what ever tint level on, and between the time the cops raise their hand and the vehicle comes to a stop, you set the tint to 0%

joking apart, and sounding science fiction, I wonder if this kind of thing is available anywhere.

Someone claimed his sun glasses changes the tint level according to the level of light. I took it for a joke . Hmmmmmm.

Electrochromatic something or other...

Can be easily done by changing the front two shutter to optical lens material.. (the type that changes shades for sun light)

photochrome lenses? Bloody expensive a pair of glasses for a spec. So a side glass would be nearly impossible to afford and i don't know how they will keep the photochrome ability together with safety measures such as braking into small pieces in an accident.
