i assume itd be pretty much the same, but that is a good question.

im also curious for anybody in CT, the r53 has no AS-1 line. is there a legal amount of space for the winshield to be tinted in like inches, or can the whole thing be done since there is no line?

hey guys, so I wanted to post an update.
yesterday, I stopped by a reputable tint shop in my area to schedule an appointment for today and look at the tints they have to offer. So they carry SunTek products and after explaining what each type of Suntek product has in benefit. I decided to go with 35% cxp all around, and 50% infinityOP on the sunroof and front windshield. They did advise on the visibility on the windshield will be lowered at night, but it does have its benefits. I will be posting pre and post images later and let you decide. Thanks
