tint pics please.....
I need a pic of limo all around on a camaro from the side if you got one. Blue camaro even better.
Also a shot of limo on the hatch and 20% on sides and one with 20% all around if you all might have some.

Heres mine, its 5% on the sides and the hatch is 20% + 5%... so i guess its -15% lol its really really REALLY dark and I dont recommend doing it.
I tried to get pics of different lighting, so here you go:

Here's my old driver, had 20% all around, about the darkest you can get away with here in Altanta without any grief. Not the best tint job, but you get the idea.

here is my blue 91rs camaro with 15% tint all the way, its the darkest i could get legally here in orlando, the guy did a great job and believe it or not the hatch was done with 1 big single piece, not in sections
Well, I dont know how to post pics. I had mine limo, and paid the tinting place cash. Then I put the firebird on the back window. I havent been stoped yet. I also am not worried about inspection.

i think the limo all around looks like the choice i'll be going with. the camaro isn't driven at night with windows up, as it's not driven in the rain or daily driven either.

yeah i guess it all depends on where u live and how strict they are. there was some legislation going around in indiana to make it a felony or something if you dont fix your tint after being warned.

I had heard that too, so I posted a thread on another car forum asking if anyone had problems with the tint discoloring or bubbling with repeated use of the rear defrost.
Out of like 150 people, only 4 or 5 reported problems, and the guys on the board who tint for a living said the shops that did theirs probably used cheap tint.
By the way, Steve, let's see a pic with your new tint. I read on the SW Chicago board that you got it done. You're just trying to hide the cage, arent you?

i'll get pics when it's not cold and rainy out. I ended up with limo all around for $210 with a lifetime warranty. Turned out sweet.

Stock windows with no tint will give you about 80% VLT. The UV guard tints that block UV but don't have any darkness to them run about 70%. Actual tinted windows start at 50% (verrrry light), 35% (front doors generally), 20% (new SUV's), 5% (limo)
Never heard of trouble with using a defroster on tinted windows. It's quite the opposite. Tint acts as an insulator in the wintertime, so you need to use the defroster less. One of my other cars is a daily driver year round and I have no troubles at all with defroster and tint. It has Sunguard "Perform X Slate" which is their middle/upper middle of the line brand.
The dyed tints aren't worth the time. They WILL turn purple, bubble etc. And the heat rejection on a 5% dyed window is generally worse than a metallized tint with 50% VLT on it. Dyed tints usually come with a 5 year warranty vs a lifetime warranty for a good metallized tint. Do it right the first time.

i don't care andre, my camaro is trailered more than driven....not like it'll bother me. It will never be driven in the rain or anything so the side windows will be down on the street. Also if the loud exhaust, cage, 5 point harnesses, no front plate, cowl hood, etc doesn't get me a ticket, then I guess I'll pay the $40-50 for tint.
