Re: Thinking of window tint? Think twice..
To me, when SVX windows are tinted, you dont see the cockpit window design which makes the SVX unique.

Re: Thinking of window tint? Think twice..
Well, yes.....
But you would certainly see it very well if you only tinted the fixed glass, and left the moving glass clear.

Re: Thinking of window tint? Think twice..
Is there such a thing as "gradient" tint? (where the film starts out darker at the top and gradually gets lighter towards the bottom)
I wanted to try that if it was available. It would block the hot/bright sun that comes in the upper side window (which always seemed to be behind where the visor could reach ) yet not overly darken further down, where you'd look to see other traffic and surroundings.

Edit: Here is a page on Canadian tinting. Keep in mind we measure it the opposite way of the US. We go by how much light will be let through, so 70% means 70% of light is let through the tint. http://www.courage.ca/services/autotintlaws.htm Also, this page doesn't say it but some provinces allow 15 cm's of tint at the top of the windshield. Whatever the case, I suggest anyone who's looking to add tint to pay a visit to their official provincial automobile law website and find out 100%.

Right, I thought I read somewhere our system was the opposite.
