Member Contributer Switchblade Posted February 27, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 27, 2015 I would tint the windshield . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer The mailman Posted February 27, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 27, 2015 The windscreen seems like a reasonable idea but I've never understood tinting your head/tail lights. I would like my lights as bright as possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted February 28, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) I tried to tint mine (with film, not spray) and I finally decided to just paint it flat black in honor of TTC... Looks great IMO! Besides, I never tuck all the way down behind it on my Y2k... I keep my eyes just above the top of the wind screen when I tuck in tight.

Member Contributer AaronB Posted February 28, 2015 Author Member Contributer Share Posted February 28, 2015 I think I'll give the tint spray a try and if it looks like crap then use paint. I'll post an update when I do it. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves you from ruining a good face shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer TheJay Posted February 28, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted February 28, 2015 I sprayed the back of my stock one gloss black. Looking at it from the front it looks great. If you do go the paint route, paint the back side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friis Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I painted my windscreen with foil/rubber spray. so if I regret the film may be pulled off again. but it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roebling3 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I've used fabric dye on a few occasions. It needs to be quite warm. Easy, cheap, unlimited colors, good penetration. Remember the container used for dipping may retain the color. R3~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is on the home page right now with the flat black painted on the inside of the wind shield if you want to see what it looks like. The plastic gives it a smooth glossy look when viewed from the outside and the flat black cuts reflection and light on the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great, hides my radar detector and keeps the hot sun and glare off the gauges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
