| legal front window film?
Are there any places that offer a clear window tint that blocks out heat and UV so that I can legally put it on the front windows and windshield?
Thanks

OEM glass should theoretically block the majority of UV rays. I don't think there's any sort of clear film that will help block heat, however...

I would think you could apply this to cars, but I haven't seen it either. Maybe too expensive or difficult to apply.

haha i wish i could get some curtains man, that'd be gangster
but essentially i would like to tint my front windows (for UV protection and heat repelling) but don't want to get in shit with the police so I want a clear tint (if that makes sense)

contact N-m o t i o n. they used to be an RS sponsor but i don't know why they aren't anymore. anyway they have a clear tint that is used for security film that has uv protection properties. unfortunately because it's completely clear, there is no heat reduction value to it since it has no tint. they can even do the front windshield if u want.
but be warned... it's not cheap.
