Finally got tint...

I know i need a paint job, but i needed to get tint on the camaro, had to hide my amp :P, its 5% on the hatch and 35% on the side windows. i think it will be a good looking car once painted dark metallic blue (like the dodge vipers)

Not only does the tint hide stuff somewhat, it keeps the car way cooler...A must have down here in Florida.

Looks good.

Yeah looks good bro. I would have went darker on the sides, like 15%. Just make sure you don't get caught by the CHP like I did

I would have gone 15% but i didnt feel like being hassled by the cops for it, The windows will be down most of the time anyway... I have no a/c lol. Anywho, thanks for the props guys.

Thats one of the first steps to making the outside of a car more attractive...in my opinion at least. We got tint on my gf's car it just helped the appearance drastically, in my opinion of course

It sure did help out the look of the car, even with the bad clear coat on it, it makes the car look atleast 50% better.. now all i need to do is save up for paint (might just do maaco ) and then on with the v8 swap i hope.

If you are up to the thought of doing the prep/bodywork yourself, just go to the Maaco on Shaw/Blackstone. Thats where I had my car painted. I did all the prep work and had them spray it. I had no problems there and I think they did a great job for what I paid ($300)

I'll have to do that, how old is that paint now? all i really need to do is sand down the car, and get all the old/bad clear off, so that they can respray, i got to take the driver door down to metal so i can get rid of all the bad bondo,
the driver side was hit possably when new, as the car wasnt salvaged at all
