The idea has been in the back of my mind for a few years now. I know my dad would freak out if I did it so I think I want to do it, ha! Has anyone done it or have any suggestions as to how dark I should go??? There were some pictures of a sweet black x-2 I saw posted awhile back and it got me thinking again.. my boat needs some pimpin' soo give me some sweet ideas that y'all have have come up with..

Agree with Shane. If you do decide to tint the windshield, I would go as light as possible.

I have limo all the way around, and heard the stories about the glare and whatnot, but I can roll just fine and the overall appearance is TOPnotch. I don't ride at night, so I don't have that type of issue. Good luck.

I actually only paid $160, the shop had done some work for me before and cut me a deal. He told me it should take about 2 hours. He called me 4 hours later and said it was done. When I got there he was calling and canceling other appointments because it took him longer than he thought. I think his words were "If I ever do another one I'll charge at least twice that" I've been really happy with it, and get nothing but compliments on the way it looks. I don't really have any trouble seeing out.

Here's my X2.....I think it's the boat in question. I paid about $175 for it to be done. I think my guy has done enough boats now that he's used to it.

Must be fun keeping that black nice and shiney? Black is by far the best looking color on the water. Our boat is black, not as much as yours zack but it is a pain in the a** to keep clean

All I can say is that my next boat will be all white and that I should own stock in a vinegar company

Those are cows. When the wakeboarding is done down there, the drinking starts, then dinner, thus where the cows come in.

I like the way it looks and I actually had it done on my old Malibu but will not do it on my Super Air. It is very difficult to see riders when you are picking them up unless you are on your knees looking over the windshield.

Tint them. Mine is limo tint and wouldn't change a thing. No problems, no regrets.

I had the guy who did the stereo install do it.......Grand Prairie Audio (TX). He's done a few of my boats. There's no doubt that the tint is dark enough that with low light it makes it tough to see through but I always have the seat bolster up and look over the windshield.

The tint looks sick. I wake usually at sun up. Earliest possible. Do you have any problems seeing in the early or late part of the day???
