First off, camaros are known for their subperb AC and maybe tinting is one way to begin fighting this problem in my black camaro. I want to know of anyone who has theirs done if they would recomend it and if they would have pics to show me of their tinting, it would be appreciated.

 

Here is a picture of mines. I don't have AC anymore so I don't know if it helps or not. Tint looks good but sucks when your on roads with no lights and its dark out....

 

i have 32% on the side and 5% in the back

:rockon: hot Z, 87 B4Z

 

5% all the way around. A/C doesn't work. I have yet to own a vehicle w/o having the windows tinited 5% and probably never will. In the few cars I've had with working A/C, the tint didn't seem to make a dramatic difference in the air temp but, it does keep the sun from baking you through the glass which, does make it seem hotter.

 

thanks man. I am getting a conversion Freon system to change my freon to the cheaper kind. The kind i have now is 50 dollars per can b/c it kills the ozone. So im switching to the cheaper freon and hopefully it will work.

 

Do a search, you'll find a couple threads on tints with pics.

I have limo on the back and 20% on the sides. Pics are on my website.

 

20% on sides and hatch...

 

lock your car looks awesome. Are you running spacers on those wheels? Sorry to be off topic.

 

I feel the same way


Here is a picture of my 5% tint, in direct sunlight...

 

how much would it cost, do you think, to have your rear hatch window tinted (with a rear defroster)?

 

Here's my IROC-Z with 5% sides and rear window...thanks to Michigan International Speedway and CamaroSuperfest for the background.

no tint for me....

the only time the windows are up is when its raining.... and then i need to be able to see thru them easily.....

 

Nice first thing you have to do with a black thirdgen is get a real dark tint heres mine the lighter silver makes the tint seem darker i cant figure that out 30% Seems lighter in this pics it was pretty bright naturally

 

sorry double post wont let me erase it

 

Thanks! Spacers on the front. I have a 99 Rear end in it so none in back.

 

How tough are those 20% windows to see out of at night?

 

ok i HAVE to ask...

how did you get your car on the ice rink!?

 

i had a quote done and to tint the whole car except for the windsheild...any amount of darkness and any color is $160. They can do any percentage but when it gets below 20 than they cant give you the recipt lol.

 

Here's mine, its the darkest legal tint I could get........

 

I've got 35% on my sides and my new rear hatch isn't tinted yet.

 

If you don't have tint on the car, you can probably get a professional tint job for around $100 or maybe a little more. Anything less than 15% costs more usually. Also, 5% is VERY hard to see out of at night. I have 15% on my white GTA. Before I had it tinted, the car would get scorching hot. With the tint, it still gets hot, but not so hot that I can't stand to get in. If you get tint and use one of those windshield shades when you're not driving, it makes a huge difference. With 15%, you can see out really well. I never have a problem seeing things at night. You can't see in the car very well either which I think is a plus. It's illegal in most states, but I've never heard of anybody getting a ticket. The guy who tinted the windows on my cars said that 95% of all the tint jobs he does are not legal. Matt

 

Not bad at all. Of course you gotta get used to it the first couple nights, but its no big deal.

 

5% is a PITA to look through......the car has to have it's lights on, otherwise you wouldn't see it.....

 

I've got 5% 3M tint on my 91z (side windows and hatch). Soon I will be doing the windshield 50%.

 

30 or 35 ill have to look it up on sides and hatch

 

Seems everyone has to ask lol i'm a zamboni driver at a rink here in denver so i get the special stuff. It amazed me how everyone was so amazed that i did it i guess it is real cool but where i work on ice and drive on it everyday its really not a big deal to me. One of these days were getting mine, my dads 81 Z28, and my best friends 2002 T/A at center ice for some pics. You can search my name theres old pics somewhere from before i had it painted you can check out.

 

always tint every car i bought, but think this z looks the best of em all!

 

Just got my windows tinted last week with 23% all the way around. I love it It doesn't seem to affect the temp inside the car too much, but it blocks out the sun fairly well. The 23% is darker that I had originally planned, but I still like it alot. I would recommend 23%-33% for the side windows. Anything darker, is too dark!:nono:

 

well i haven't gotten a quote for my car but my friend that drives a 9x(new body style) mustang got his tinted and it was over 150 bucks. but it looks very good. i plan on getting mine tinted here before to long also, the black with tinted is just a sweet look. lets see a burnout on the ice, lol jk.

 

That ice was all torn up from drop in hockey before it and i still had no traction spinning is a given! My tint was like 166$$ but make sure they'll do the rear window one piece and not in strips a couple of palces i talked to wouldn't do the rear window as one sheet of tint this place did and its nicer no lines. They also put a strip of black vinyl between the edge and the defroster line so there wasnt an empty spot. good luck
