I got my windows tinted today, 35% all around (and the factory tint). So its a little darker than 35. I like the way it came out, i am very pleased with the way it looks now. I think i am finally finished with the outside appearance of the car, which kind of makes me wonder what i should do next??

Plus i got to play around with the new camera, Canon SD400. I cant wait to get some pics outside!

Heres the previous fish-bowl look >>









And here it is after the tint, sorry for the OK pictures

 

Looks even more amazing!!!!!! I have 32% on my side and 22% on my hatch and i love it. Anyway, good direction to go with the car, as tint on 3rd gens really is a must

 

can i marry your car

 

Damn dude, that is sweet.

How much did it cost you for the total job?

 

i like that you tinted it , but i hate that its so light , but its your car, i dont think that you will be happy when you get it outside in the sun . I think you will see how light it is . But it does look better with the tint , i just wish you went darker , i think you will wish you did .

 

lol this from the guy that has his windows practicaly painted black....lol but looks oh so good

 

I had thought of going darker, but i really dont need the extra hassle from the cops, so far they like me Plus i do alot of night driving and i just didn't find it very practical at all.

Total cost of the job was $150, and he came to my house.

 

Do you have any little air bubbles anywhere?

I have a few on my side windows. Kinda pissed me off because i had it professionaly done at a reputable place, but they're barely noticable. I really hate the fact that it peeled slightly off the top corner of the hatch. I took it back TWICE to get it fixed under the warrranty but *** dammit they need to use more adhesive or something and im not goin back there again. Its in center city and every time i drive my car there i almost get a heart attack--bottoms out everywhere and NARROW city streets with cars opening their F***ing doors all over the place. I think i might just pay another tint shop like wahtever $20 to fix it.

 

No bubbles at all, anywhere. Im very happy with the job. The guy who did it is a professional, and usually tints for dealerships and other places that charge upwards of $250. so essentially i saved myself 100 bucks by going straight to him

 

hey, a quik question. are those Hoosier tires slicks or street tires?
they look like street tires. if they are , where did you get them?

 

Look like slicks to me, however I belive Summit sells street tires by Hoosier and M/T.

Edit: Yup.

Dude! That is one good-looking machine!

 

The tint looks good. I love how you have a track car theme going on while still maintaning its rep as one of the most prestine looking cars here on the boards.

 

car is very sexy, i would like to see it with a factory hood and none of that bumper to hood gap thats goin on

 

Thanks man, i'm gonna see what i can do this spring with the hood gap. it's pretty minor but it does bug me a little.


thanks for the compliments everyone

 

Tunedport355,


I must honestly say that before the tint your car was just very good looking to me, but with the tint IMO it really completes the car, fantastic.

I also think that any darker tint wouldn't look as good as the shade that is on there now. That tint doesn't look cheesy like some of the tint jobs I have seen in the past.

congradulations.

Looks great...you just gave me the idea to put my car on some dolly's!

 

Do you have his name and address/ phone #? I need to do my rear hatch agian.. The guy who did it did a good job but didnt last long.. Around the defogger lines there some lil peel of tint in some areas.. I need to get it fix.. Looks good though yours.

 

wow, looks really good! not too dark either. i seriously am thinking about tinting my car but i dont want it too dark and dont want it to look purple-ish. that looks perfect.

 

I will send you a PM.


thanks everyone!

 

your car looks bad a$$

 

looks 10x better

 

you never answered my question

 

Dude, you're car rocks...looks even better now

 

Hey now, that's not legal anywhere..... well except for International waters, and possibly Mississippi.

 

IMO any tint is better than no tint. Tint will turn purple if you use cleaners with amonia on the inside of the glass over time.

 

Car looks great...as always

I usually agree with 18inchboyds because I have/love the 5% look but the 35% looks great on your car.

 

your
car
is
growing
on
me


that car is sick.
Nice tint, So the cops like you? Just because they cant catch you

 

THAT IS ONE CLEAN A$$ CAR!

 

looks badass

 

im a big fan of the cowl hood and flames

 

looks good i got limo tint all around on mine

 

back from the dead

 

Updated pics are needed

 

That look's sweet...great job!

 

Love the car... tint really completes the look. I think you made a wise decision going with the 35% - the last thing we need is another reason to get pulled over. 3 days after I got mine done I got nailed with a $107 ticket, but I have 5% tint.

 

Nice!

 

god i love that car i wish i could finish mine soon maybe ill see it in person next year at summer nats

 

if you live around mass and havent seen chris' car (tunedport) its deffinately worth checking out. one of the cleanest i have ever seen.

 

Wow i cant beleive this got brought back up... yeah the car looks a little different now. I havent been on this board in several months because life has been crazy.

Slowly building up parts for a hot-cammed LT1 and T56 swap. Maybe by next spring it will be done

 

where is he located? i live in ct and have not gottena quote under 180 and they all give me a hard time about the hatch lol
