Did you do anything to your windshield?
Nope. Was considering 70% crystalline, but they wanted $225 for the windshield alone. Seems a bit absurd. I've never done my windshield before, so figured why part with tradition.
I've never even looked into tinting. Only curious for this car cause the factory difference between front and back looks big. What did the front and back cost you? (I probably have different needs to you. FL vs NJ)
The back metered right at 20% and I forgot to get a reading on the front. After putting 50% on the back it came down to 12% and they're estimating 15% on the front. I may go back Thursday when I can roll down the windows for a reading on the front. Everything except the windshield using 3M color stable ran me $350. They wanted another $225 for just the windshield done in 3M crystalline. Crystalline 70% is the only film to use for a windshield in my opinion as it imparts a slight blue hue and is mostly transparent.
