CRIME PAYS Mod 2.0: 3M 5% Limo Tint

[Commander50]

CRIME PAYS got Mod 2.0 this morning with the application of limo tint. I’m working toward an overall blue and blacked out theme. I need to find a good powder coater in San Diego to black out all of this ugly chrome.

Nice look. I also did 5% and don't regret it 1bit. Love dark tint.

I have not operated the boat at night yet, however, my intention is to sit on the booster seat and look over the windshield. I have the same tint on my Jeep and vision is definitely diminished at night.

thinking that would be nice during the day and im on the taller side so it probably wouldn't be a problem while sitting on the bolster

I went 20%, but the 5%...

Just keep in mind that if you run with your windshield center panel open visibility in front of the passenger's side will go from 5% to... like 2.5%, lol. So, make sure she or he are okay with that.

Yes with the windshield open it is nearly impossible to seethough. Personally I don't really keep it open.

I operated the boat for the second time yesterday and first time with the limo tint on the windshield. I found that regardless of the tint or not, I prefer to operate the boat with my line of sight being above the windshield. Unfortunately, I’m 5’8” so I just raised the bolster seat and placed folded towels behind the bolster seat. This way I raise my line of sight above the windshield and I still get to use the seat back.

I really like this pedestal, albeit it is not perfect. It needs a bit of convincing to adjust up or down, it does not lineup straight forward when “locked” because of the pattern of holes in the deck (I used the existing ones, did not redrill anything). I found that it doesn’t bother me at all, but I can imagine it could someone else.

For the price though, given adjustability and cushioning it provides, it is fantastic!
