I also would wonder what it would look like on windows. My only problem with it would be.... If a cop told you to take it off.... sounds like it would start to get messy.

well, couldn't you control how dark it was by the number of shades you put it on it.

Just wondering, why would you want to go through all the extra effort just to get the same result as regular window tint? Im sure it can be done, and tastefully, but it seems there would be more headache in the long run than with regular tint. It just seems regular tint would be much easier.

when you hold the razor at a certain angle you will have no problems with scrapping

I would think it would not be clear to see through like window film is. That it would be cloudy

I tried to use it on my hatch glass. Just the small strips near the outer side edges where my window tinter said he can't tint. It was suspect to me, but he did the back window flawlessly and in one piece .
The VHT NiteShades was cloudy and wouldn't stick to the glass very well. I just used blk tape instead.
Don't do it.
