Here's a silly question...since it's illegal to have any tints on the windshield here in Ontario...is there something that can be put on the windshield that doesn't block out any light but has the benefit of reflecting heat and UV rays?
3m Crystalline tint has a clear film.. that 3m claims to block 99.9% uV and 97% IR heat.

I have Crystalline for my car.. it repels heat well.. but i am not sure if it is really much better than other brand such as Xpel.

I have my windshield at 80%... it looks near clear.. no problem with cops

Glad that you have great experience with EJ..
They tint mine.. and few of my friends car.. we have nothing to pick..
And their price is best in town. But Llumar isnt best film compare to xpel or 3m.. that is only down
WrapID only has Llumar on their website now? Just checked the tints tab

That is correct. I actually emailed wrapID to get a quote before I did mine with EJ and wrapID told me don't have Xpel anymore (at this time) not sure if it's a stock issue.

I have had 35% all around on my cars for years and not once have I had a cop stop me for the window tint.

I also had ceramic done on my current car, 35% all around. It was 300$ and change after tax.

Had my 2016 Coupe done in Florida last year, beautiful job..$105 US. Honda ending the Coupe this and likely manual transmission before long; just had 2020 Sport delivered to dealer, white metallic, waiting for Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 to come in and be installed. Will "I hope" be getting this one done in same shop, rear and sides, not windshield. IMHO, you won't have police problems unless the tint is extreme or you show a "contempt of cop attitude".

I have 15% all around on my civic plus 40% on the front windshield. Also have 15% all around on my mustang. On my past civic I had 10% all around and 40% on windshield as well never had issues with the police even sitting beside them at night. I got mine done by Twilight tint for the windshield paid $150 and the rest was done at Honda got them to throw it in for free.

Just called in to make my appointment with EJ Auto next week. They said they don’t tint lights unfortunately. Anyone know a shop in the GTA that does tail/head lights?

Any shop that does vinyl wrap/ppf in GTA should be able to do what you're looking for.

My results from EJ. Logan (the owner) does exceptional work, no complaints. Did 5% back windows and sunstrip, 15% driver’s and passenger’s front front windows. I will say the only difficulty is seeing in the rear view mirror through the back window at night, everything else isn’t too bad. But from outside, you can only see black silhouettes within without the details during the day. Sunstrip super effective. Finally I can drive without pick up owners high beaming behind me. Logan said not to roll down windows for at least 3 days and no washes until 24 hours. All windows were $280, sunstrip was an extra $40. Results are in folks!
