I need some motivation to get tint on my car. Whatcha got?

 

Its the best I can give u.. Its not for sale anymore.. just the only pic of it on the internet When i find a digital camera more pics to come.. while its in the shop! Oh yah the side windows are rolled down.. but they are tinted 35% and the back is 5%.. with the windows up the car is alllllllllll dark baby! woo.. Shoudl i take off the silver lining around the GFX?

 

35% all the way around

 

Lookin good! Almost looks like some limo tint from here.

 

Yeah.. My cars in the shop right now... the engines back in and 1/2 way wired back up!!! Im sooo excited. I'll take TONS of pics. I have someone who wants to trade me formula rims for my GTA's straight up so I'll take pics if i have the new rims and myc ar running.. The car looks 100x better in the sun oo im soo excited! :rockon:

 

oh yah also, get them tinted because if your car sits as low as mine which is does and those stupid *** trucks get behind u at night and those lights are beaming right at your eye level, Tint eliminates that completely.. Plus it looks extra cool, especially on red cars for "some reason"

 

Are you guys in the US allowed to tint the windscreen?

 

No.. And in america we call it the "Windshield" hehe its amazing how different we refer to our car parts, and were only an ocean away!

 

Hey, MG86TA, why would you want to get rid of the GTA wheels? I think they look much better than my convex snowflake wheels. The only reason I haven't ditched them already is because they're 16x8 (good size) and I don't have money for 17s! The black diamond spoke look is so much cooler, tho, IMO.

The tint looks good guys. What's the legal limits on the side and back windows? Is there a limit on the back?

Later,
Chris

 

MG86TA,

if your's is red can you send me some pix.

As for the naming of parts, "hood" and "trunk" I am doing on a regular basis, as opposed to "bonnet" and "boot". "Fenders" I can also do ("wings" in English), but what caught me out was the reference to "rocker panels". "Rocker covers" in English, is "Valve covers" is US, "Rocker panels" in US means diddly in English!

Apart from that, I think most other terminolgy is OK in translation. (Apart from a "back scuttle"...don't ask)

 

Sorry,
it is red, and i Can see the pix. Do you have more?

 

I will take some tomorrow when i go to the shop to put the finishing touches on my engine.. just rebuilt the 305.

In response to the GTA Wheels they aren't black.. If they were black i would concider keeping them.. but sooner or later im gonna upgrade to a 17in rim.. When i have the money that is.. At least with these formula rims i can polish them really good to make em shine.. Just like my car hehe =] Im not bent on speed, im stuck on looks

 

Yeah, good choice!!

the side are 32% and the rear is 5%. here in texas the darkest you can go on the sides is 32%

 

5% all around w a 8" front visor.

 

Here are a few.

 

Last one.

 

Here is my RS

 

here's mine.....

 

Heres mine they are 35%. I would like to go to 20% but i'll stick w/ the 35% for now.

 

Just found out today that more than 35% on the side windows is now illegal in the UK.

I probably could find a guy willing to do more, but it'd fail the MOT (annual vehicle and emmision inspection for ALL cars in the UK over 3 years old!).

 

 

CustomX,
Is the windshield also tinted?

How low can you go where you live?

 

No the windhsheild is not tinted.

Here you can go as low as you want as long as the rim isnt covered by the fender while driving.

 

sorry, meant the % tint in terms of "low-ness"

 

Oh yeah that.. heheh lol

its 5%. if i woulda knownw this was goign to be posted i woudl have cleaned the car up and waxed the windows for ya, make em nice and shiny and stick out.

 

Looks like Texas says that I can have as low as 5% light pass through the rear window, and the passangers have to have 35%.

<font color=red><h3>Here is a site that tells you what you tint laws are in the US and Canada</font></h3>

On that website, it says:
What's the AS1 line? Also, after that it says:

So... am I allowed to tint the front windshield at all? Or can I tint it down to the AS1 line, whatever that is?

I really need to get a pic of mine on the computer, but anyway in california, you can go as dark as you want on the back, provided that you have 2 side mirrors, left and right. if you have single side windows you may be allowed to put a little tint on there, but the general rule is that you can't obstruct the view of the side mirrors. If you have a 4 door or splitt windows on the sides the rears can me tinted according to the rules for the rear window.

 

10 % all the way around...
