Do you have any pics? I had a white '76 and considered tints but every one I saw was some serious black-out tint and I chickened out.

I will get some pics shortly; its only been on an hour! Gimme a chance and I will show you. :)

BTW, 32 pecent is the law on side windows in Florida. It is quite moderate. The tint guy wanted to black out the back window, but I went with 32 all around. Sorta elegant looking.

I had an F-250 with 35% (darkest legal tint in this state) and didn't think it was dark enough. However, you can't go too dark or it starts being a heat magnet.

We're not allowed to have tinted side windows in New Jersey. It impedes the State Troopers from being able to profile correctly. :)

Sharp on your white Vette a bit of a limo-look
Tint on my black car would make it look mean,
Mafia hit-car look, .....maybe later.
