You need some 3M Crystalline windshield film.

It really is the future. I thought the future was 3 years away, what with the hoverboards, flying cars, and scrolling LED police hats. Can't forget Mr. Fusion.

I'm going to have to talk to the local tint shops and see if anyone has this crystalline film.

If it is colorless, I will jump on it. We are not allowed to tint our front windshield here in Louisiana. BTW 158F is hot enough to fry an egg. Maybe I should get another reading at noon :-)

that looks really good but i havve to put inspection and registration stickers on the windshield, and the only way to get those off is with a razor blade...

which would also take the tint off, but it would only be in that little area i guess

That tint goes on the inside of your windshield. Stickers go on the outside.

Texas registration stickers have the printing on the sticky side, much like a state park windshield sticker

Another question - I know when I look through tinted windows while wearing polarized sunglasses, I get a rainbow effect. I'm wondering if this clear tint will do the same, since it's not the color that creates the effect, but the material itself.
