I'm having a brain fart on the name of the product but I had all my vehicles done 2 years ago with a film that goes on the outside of the windshield. It blocks UV/Heat and stops rock chips. Stopped doing it when I got to California as it was mainly to prevent smashed windshields from lose gravel but the product is brilliant. Used it for years and never had a broken or chipped windshield. Great UV and heat resistance as well.

I'm 95% sure it's called Clearplex.

Just remember Texas is going to one sticker (combined registration and inspection) so you'll have an empty square. Don't forget one for the toll tag too.

I am considering getting my front windshield tinted, is there any bubbling issues with the 3M 3m crystalline? Has anyone had issue with the electronic toll machines reading the transponder?

Ty,

I have had it on my Porsche for a year but have been using full windshield tint since 2001. I always continue to do it again not just because I like the look but because it cuts the UV rays and makes sunny driving much easier on my eyes.

I wouldn't say that it is a pain to clean. I just make sure to use Stoners which is tint safe and dry it quickly. As far as heat goes, I KNOW that it helps for heat. A friend and I conducted an experiment and found that my car was 8 degrees cooler after sitting for 4 hours in the sun. I know this doesn't sound like much, but it keeps the harsh rays off of the dash and the leather never gets to that burning hot to the touch feel.

I would absolutely recommend it! Just make sure that the installer is someone who knows what they are doing. Windshield applications are NOT easy and I have seen some disasters. And as far as your stickers go - just put them on the tint, no need to have cut outs. It will be fine. I promise
