0 Guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Sorry, it's not a windshield. I'm sure all states are different, but in my state the windshield can be tinted a certain percent. This is something mandated by Federal law to be clear/transparent. You are right that it's automotive--that should give you the answer. Tinted to a certain percent is still "clear". Up to the point it denigrates vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 It's clear (kind of) but not transparent. It would translucent, more like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Established so far: It's clear, as in not colored. Federal law mandates that it be clear. (That rules out anything organic.) It's automotive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm not from the USA but hazarding a guess I'd sayThe law banning clear or tinted license plate covers? I understand certain variants prevent cameras from capturing the details unless they are at a specific angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Also, someone said translucent instead of clear. That could be more true in some cases, due to thickness. Now, surely you have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
