Hi Stan-
I went thought the same exact process and questions, and finally got some
scrap samples, as one of the other listers mentioned. Driving around the
neighborhood at night with them was fine, as was sitting in the plane at
night in the driveway once the new canopy was on. When you think about it,
the glass we fly behind every day is really tinted, and poses no issue.
Todd's tinted is the way to go- Plus, you can get a little more internal
volume under a todd's canopy
