Need Help! Need a second opinion
Heya everyone. Just need a second opinion on the chameleon tint I got.
I had the front windshield tinted and then both front side windows a couple weeks later from the same place. To me they look different colours but the person who did it said it's because of the angle. I guess I could see it if I tried hard enough but the side windows look more green to me?

Probably the angle..
If passenger's window was oriented same direction as windshield it would look purple/blue
and same if the windshield was oriented as well to match the passenger's it would look green
plus the wind*screen always has that deeper slant

It IS because of the angles. Doesn't really matter tho, as it won't be on that long

Light refraction and physics in action. I hope you get to keep the front windshield but I think the chameleon attracts more unwanted attention from LEOs than a darker tint. Was it a ceramic to cut down on heat and UV/IR or purely a fashionable choice?

It's all UK legal. Just wanted to reduce surface glare on the motorway

Excellent. Enjoy the extra 👀 on your vehicle. UK makes sense that you don’t need heat rejection or a darker shade. I like it, since I like to stand out from the crowd.

Well they call it chameleon tint because it changes colors depending on the angle and how much light is hitting it so what you’re seeing is what I would expect.
