The Florida sun is starting to annoy me now lol....I want some tint on the windshield. I am just concerned about the V1's performance dropping....
It's not metallic tint, but will it affect the laser detection?
Thank you![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)

by the time your radar detector is reading the cops laser signal, the cop will already have your speed... radar is the only thing you should be worried about.

as long as its not metallic tint you should be fine. 15% all around plus 50% on your front windshield?? do you plan on being able to see anything at night say if you are on the highway where there isn't any street lamps?

50 percent tint on windshield might make it hard to see in the dark, try 70 percent. May not be as good keeping the interior cool as 50 percent but it will block out the rays
