Went into Eric's Shop (Eclipse Tinting) yesterday to get a windshield visor... He did an awesome job, Highly Recommend!![/b]


Cool! I'm very happy with the work on my car as well.

I sorta figured after I asked, but just wanted to make sure...how far down on the windshield did you go?

1/2? 3/4? so you could be all gangster? [img]http://coloradomazdaclub.com/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

A 1/4 way down which is about 8 inches I think. Went just below the rear view mirror holder. Eric almost talked me into doing a full windshield... was tempting.

Well then you'll just have to see Tims RX8 and my Speed3 in person for your final decision!

I second the blue moon. I must have gone to Coors 3-5 times a week while in school and all I drank was the blue moon.

Well, with quite a bit more night driving under my belt, I can add to my review. It's definitely noticeably darker inside the car. I've become the default driver in the house. We usually drive the Escape, as Michele is afraid it could snow at any time and the 8 would leave us stranded, haha. Quite a bit of difference between the two. It doesn't make it any more difficult to drive, but I would say if you already have trouble driving at night, I wouldn't do this to your car.

Otherwise, I think the difference it makes in overall looks is pretty impressive.

I had this done on my 3, well actually it was already like that when I bought it. And at first it was very hard for me to get used to it, because they had it tinted down lower then the limit. After about 2 weeks I really started to love it. I had to get a new windshield right before I traded it in, and of course didnt have the tint on it. Wow, it sucked! Now the 7 doesn't have it either, and I have been wanting to get this done for a long time. Hopefully within the next month I can get it, plus my windows darker.. Maybe see if I can get some money for my birthday. lol
