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...

you can buy them roll down covers if you want

Huper Optik might have something, call tint centre and find out.

Those are just annoying, i'm assuming he wants to do the front windshield as well though.

I have one of those foily foldable cardboard like things for the front... but i rarely use it...

A lot of buildings have a clear film on their glazing that reduces solar heat gain significantly but is completely clear. I would think you could apply this to cars, but I haven't seen it either. Maybe too expensive or difficult to apply.

Now that you mention it, i do rememeber hearing about this with some new high rises that are all glass on the side.

If you find anything, post here, or PM me.

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.
