Tinted Windscreen - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Hi all,
For the longest time I contemplated how to tint my windscreen to match the look of my tinted windows. Painting does not work and window tint film would eventually bubble.

I found some DIY instructions on how to cut one using tinted plexiglass, but this was complicated and the cost of a whole sheet can get expensive.

The other week I found a company who actually specializes on doing this, cutting Windscreens for Boxsters and other cars! I bought and installed and it looks great!

Is your rear window tinted also?

Yes, look at my signature. Even with the top up, l can still through my rear window fine.

Where's your roll bar wind screens? I have too much wind noise / buffering without them in.

I didn't like the look of the screens...so I sold them.

I like the way my roll bar looks now...looks like a real roll bar, pops!

I painted the hooks on the back of the seat gray, but I need to go a shade lighter in gray...do that later this week.

Or change them out with with these (which I am thinking about doing). I'll never use the hooks on the back of the seats.

Looks great! I actually tinted mine with the usual headlight tint stickers u get off the shops but at 10% darkness (hoping no bubbles anytime soon) and stuck the porsche word on, will post it once i get the chance.

Valor - post up some pics of that when you get a chance. I'd like to see it!

I am looking for a template of the wind screen. One side would be enough as the ends are mirror images. Do you know where one might be available? My car had a windscreen at one time but when I purchased the car it has the clips that attach to the roll bar but no screen. I can get 4 mm lexan, just need the pattern. Thanks for any assistance.

Wow, I really need to paint my calipers yellow.
