i dont know why i did this, it was mainly to test out my new rotary tool accessory kit and bits, i always wanted to know how one of the local guy here in new-brunswick did his grinding art on a car window, it was a nice picture of a castle on a hill with a swordsman walking up the hill to the castle.
well i took my dremel tool, and tryed a few bits till i find the right one for the job, a round tip metal bit looking kinda like a grindstone but in metal. i dint know what to do and i knew i wanted our cool zukiworld.com sumwere on my truck. well here it is haha my first scratches on purpose on a car glass :laugh:
i've also added a few before an after picture of the same time of my work so far, i added a 2" jeff lift and 225/75/16 tires, no other mods than that on the outside, next is both driver side door will be replaced as one got smashed good and the other has a broken window crank. also the hood will be replaced, then its off for paint, so far im thinking flat green paint but not sure about it yet...

Cool idea! Looks good.

The idea is great, but there is better alternatives.
Now when that area of glass has the slightest impact it will be prone to breakage, just like scribing a line and snapping a glass sheet.
I have used dremels to scribe wine glasses and other novelty items and it produces a rather course ragged gouging of the surface. For auto window glas I would only use a fine bead blasting. Use a adhesive backed vinyl stencil, blast lightly and remove the masking.

One of the vinyl shops here will do you a vinyl sticker that looks like the glass has been bead blasted - neat, quick and removable ;)

but it wont peel, fade and its way different than a sticker, making the cool factor a bit more cool LMAO was just for fun like i said, i was bored lol

i have a part truck so i dont really cares if it breaks, and its temperd glass, harder to break than wine bottles

I've had some branches smack that back window hard enough that it left tree sap embedded in scuffs on the glass. I was surprised it never broke, although being such a small window probably helps.
