I'm in Kali (CA), and I suppose that even clear would be illegal?

Has anyone else used this logic? My previous Honda had many, and all the windscreen chip repairs, would more than cover cost of film.

My Z is lower so it will probably "attract" more stone chips.

Also considering the clear body panel film type kits. Any thoughts on self install of these? The sellers make it look easy!!

Thanks, Alan

PS. First blog entry. Picked up my 370z 7AT base Pearl 2010 yesterday.

First off, welcome. I suggest posting in the Introduction section and saying hi to everyone.

As far as I know the only things illegal on the front windshield are tints, a clear film over it will not incur any tickets unless specifically mandated (and I don't see why you'd ever ban them).

Many people have had clear bras installed on their Z's fronts to help belay rock chips.

Use the search tool and type in all kinds of things; despite the relatively short life of this forum, you will find much wisdom (and a lot of bad jokes and puns).
