Default Plastic Window tint

So are s2000's with plastic window's pretty much screwed when it comes to window tint? It gets so freakin hot in the car without tint (texas), i'd just tint the sides but I'm afraid that would end up looking really goofy. I hate the look of non-tinted windows but again, the rear window is pretty big and I don't know about just doing the front two.

You can get plastic static cling tint, no glue required. It makes the plastic window look much better as it goes on the outside of the window. Do a search, there are lots of threads on it.

and the application is simple too as you tint the outside of the window. Have had mine tinted for nearly 7 years and needed to retint it only once.

Building a template is the way to go. Tape some aluninum foil together to cover the entire window and edge. Rub a dull point alng the edges. Cut to size and you'll probably need to refit a couple of times as well. Should make it pretty eay the next time.

Does the static cling stay on well when you open/close the soft top?
