helbz Member 176 Member For: 13y 11m 24d Posted 23/12/11 04:43 AM Share Posted 23/12/11 04:43 AM (edited) I have seen a van with a green glitter tint on the front windscreen, in NSW it is illegal to tint the windscreen however a tinted or opaque band across the top of the windscreen is allowed and it must not go lower then portion swept by the wipers but most modern windscreens have that band across the top anyway. No offence dude but how old are you this is the sort of thing I thought was cool when I was 10 years old.

I am 29 years old.So, to everyone else, if all the windows are darkly tinted (apart from the front windscreen) it would still make it hard to look into the car through the front, since not enough light is let into the car?

You like to drive nekkid or something? Edited 23/12/11 05:02 AM by Porno Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are the people you are hiding from will recognise its your car anyway?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 29 years old.My point was not that you are doing it to be "cool" altho it may be quite cool as the uv rays would be cut down signifigantly, but on another note I am suprised that at 29 years old you do not know that it's illegal and stupid to tint a windscreen.During the day even with 5% tint you will be able to see who is driving when approached by oncoming traffic, but from side on they would only be able to see an outline of a person.
