Default I can not wait!!!

Until the nice dark LIMO tint goes on! I just dropped off the back glass which will have the old film removed. Friday it goes to have the sides done(Hopefully the rear will be done as well and can be tinted at the same time)

I feel naked without tint! The previous stuff was Ray-Ban metallic. Ehh...didn't really care for it too much. Nothing beats JET BLACK WINDOWS.

Can't make up my mind. One the one hand, I don't want anything to interfere with visibility, on the other hand, tint is :cool: figuratively and literally. I had a black car with huge back glass and without tint A/C wouldn't have done beans. Had a cop even tell me it looked good while he was ticketing me for no front plate. :mad

On my Vette my reverse lights don't work so I'd be screwed trying to back out of a parking space at night.

I'll agree, it is a little tougher to see out at night...but you'll be OK.

I just picked up the rear glass. Let me tell you! The technique of putting TONS of windex with ammonia D and garbage bags on top then letting it sit in the sun pulls the stuff RIGHT OFF. It took no longer than 30 minutes and it was hands free. Glue, tint, GOOD BYE!!! :D Just an FYI for those contemplating removal or if they some day need to. Didn't bother the defroster lines AT ALL either. It's easy enough to take the window off on the hinge. Mine luckily separated from the hinge without breaking.

[EDIT] This was it with the ray ban film, 20 percent on the sides. too bad they peeled. I didn't care for the metallic film in the long run anyway. Smoked tint is going to look hot.

Man I wish I knew about that when the local gendarmes made me take the 80% or whatever off the side windows of my last car. Doing it the hard way sucks in a big way. :sad:

They've cooled down here quite a bit on tint legality. In the next town over a while back, an officer was killed(I think the car was stolen) when the driver after being pulled over(Limo'd windows) shot the cop. For a while, any car that had ANY tint was pulled over...:lol: yours truly had His Mustang re-done like five times(limo off, inspected, limo back on etc.). I can't NOT have tinted glass...at least not on my car.
