As small as the cockpit is in the SC, I would think tinting the windshield would be an overkill.

I've had mine tinted for over 2 years now, and no problems. The guy didn't remove door panels either, but installed the tint lower than all seals with a squeegee.
I went with 35%, since it's not noticeable at night, people can perfectly see inside the car, and it has the SAME UV protection of darker tints. No sense on going anything darker than that. Never done the windshield though, plus it's illegal here.

Default Some pictures after my tint was installed and a little Zaino.

I just has 30% Llumar tint installed on my car (along with a Llumar clear bra, as posted in another thread), so I thought I would share some photos of it with ya'll.

Here are some I loaded onto Flickr. I made it public. It would not allow me to upload some (not sure why). Let me know if these have any problems.

I have 100+ coats of zaino on my car, but still can't beat your new car in dark color.

Thank you a bunch! Now my goal is to keep it looking this good. My only fear is that swirls may appear in the paint, but I am very careful to try to avoid that. The car is borderline "a dark color."
