Does anyone have a picture of a Black firebird(or camaro) with blacked out lights and tinted windows.

Which type of tint is the best and do most body shops install it?
How much tint would allow you to see outside fine but people can definitely tell that you tinted your windows.

Thanks.

 

man i wish i had a pic. i have a blacked out 89rs camaro. i went with %20 tint all the way around. in the day all you see are shadows and night you cant see in. you can see out perfect though. %35 is legal in memphis but anything under that is illegal. btw, 3M tint is the best. i ordered a complete set of gts blackouts from jegs for around $100, wich isnt bad. they really make my car look good. but i also have iroc rims, grill, and foglights too. i will post a pic sometime this weekend for you. i have to get a pic scanned at walgreens to put on here.

 

awesome, my bro has an 89 rs and im sure he would like to see the pic too.
Thanks!

 

I have 5% tint all around and blackout covers on the back taillights.. Check out my web page:

That firebird looks like it belongs in the hood. All black, all over? Thats a little extreme isnt it?

No, all black all over is the sweetest looking you can get. My 1990 Firebird is black on black w/ tinted windows, side markers, custom clear and blacked out front turn signals, Nightshade blacked out tail lights (and I am going to get a set of GTS blackouts to use on another set of tail lights). W/ no emblems on the car and after the car has been washed it is absolutely stunning...

 

3M is the best company for tinting. Most other tints will begin to turn purple and blue after a while. I have blackouts on my camaro with the chevy bow-tie on em, i cant post pics because i dont have a camera for the computer.

My "black bandit" is really hoping to be black all over. almost there, just need window tint.... Anyway, the taillight and headlight covers with the sticker off look INCREDIBLE!

 

sorry, don't live in the hood. but i agree with the other guys. i don't think anything looks better than an imaccualate black third gen. i am sure if you you saw it in person you would agree. but i don't think its extreme. actualy i am contemplating tinting the windows too, i think that would look amazing too!

 

I can't remember what the tint % is on my car, maybe 25 or something, which ever is the next darkest shade beyond what is legal in ohio, but I think it is perfect for not messing up my vision at night and looking good.

 

On the back window I have pretty much the darkest tint u can get!! It is how ever hard to see out of at night but in the day its ok!! I went as dark a possible so no one can see in the hatch during day or night from outside the car!! On the side windows i went with a light tint just to finsh off the look!!

 

Always looking to get a rise out of people huh Jack? Anyway, I'd rather be in the hood than in Hell!

PS. How's the Honda Civic coming along?

D

 

One Eyed *****, WTF is your prob??? That car looks bad! Maybe it just looked bad because you only have 1 eye? Try opening the other, and if you keep saying dumb .... like that, i might just bust the other eye so your new name will be No Eyed *****! hehe

 

hows the quality of doing it yourself 3M.

to remove the stickers i just used and adhesive remover, they came off pretty easy. also, some people on the this board suggested gas and said that would work too....so either or...its they are pretty easy to get off....and it looks alot nicer....lata

 

Used some Sh** called goo gone available at Brooks, CVS, Osco, Eckard etc. About $5 for a bottle. Gets rid of all the gummy stuff.

anyone ever tried this stuff? i wonder if it would work with black paint..

 

How much are the GTS blackouts anyways, and where do you buy them?

(whats the cheapest place)

Did you have to drill holes for those blackouts or was it double sided tape

HEY ONE EYED JACK, COME ON OVER TO THE "HOOD" AND LET ME GIVE YA A TOUR. REMEMBER ONCE YOU GO BLACK YOU NEVER GO BACK.

QUESTION: IF I USE THE FRONT BLACKOUTS CAN I LEAVE THEM ON AT NIGHT AND STILL USE MY HEADLIGHTS? I AM STILL DEBATING THIS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TO BE REMOVING THEM EVERYDAY. I WOULD RATHER SCREW THEM IN AND LEAVE THEM.

HEY COME BRING UP OLD TOPICS TO BITCH ME OUT IN CAPS!

I think blackouts are stupid.

Yeah lets hide our tail lights so people don't know when we're braking in the day time! SMASH! oops I just got rear ended! Or I'm turning around this corner, but they dont know which way! OOPS SMASH I just got blindsided!

Dumbass.

i have headlight and tailight blackouts. for the headlights, it's not too bad. the only time i have a problem is when i'm on a small dark back road and someone is coming the other way that has bright lights. for the tailights, jack, get a clue, then maybe we'll listen to you. even with the tailight covers, you can still see the brake lights and signal lights perfectly fine.

 

'91 RS Black, head/tail light blackouts, all reflectors etc blacked out - tint is next. I love the all blackness. And the lights show fine through the covers man, I dont know what you saw.. SAEspinz80, do you have a license plate cover, or just no plate on it? I have been looking for a decent cover (Ive got the cheapy from Meijer right now) but I cant find anything. Nice car.

 

Called the rhode island DMV and inquired about blackouts.

they said i basically need 2 red reflectors in the back so someone can see me if they are behind me?

if someone shined their headlights on my back end, would they just see black, or would my car reflect the red color?

i wanna get some blackouts soon, they look sweet but i dont want to get a ticket or anything!
