Default window tint

Does tinting the windows of a collectors car depreciate the cars value, since that is not an original thing?

No. Window tint is 100% removable unless you spend the BIG bucks to get deep tint. It also adds to the look of the car and keeps it cooler, especially here in Texas. Our legal max is 5% limo tint in back, 35% on sides. :cheers:

Same here in AZ. And yeah I heavily doubt it would add to any depreciation of the vehicle's value since the tint is a film and easily removable. I don't think anyone really gets tint-burned glass anymore though unless it's for those c4-c6 level armored vehicles. (c4 and c6 by the way are levels for custom armored vehicles.....no relation to c4 vettes......atleast I don't think. :D ) Even new vettes off the showroom floor have options in many dealers to be set up with tint. Of course, the best kind of film tint that kicks so much azz due to not only an effective product but a lifetime guarantee where you can have em installed for free if anything starts to bubble. I've got 5% limo in the back but I have FormulaOne tints on the sides at 35%. F1 makes the best film tint out there, but only has certain dealers that sell em.....cuz they can't afford to have morons installing a "less-than-perfect" tint. http://www.formulaone.com/ I've had the tint for about a year now and it's nothing short of perfection in just about every way. When this stuff came out it pretty much made real glass-burned tint obsolete as far as efficiency and cost goes. And even if it didn't, I'd rather have a permanently usable NON-PERMANENT tint than a permanently usable PERMANENT tint. So in essence, they could charge more and still make $$$ as a company. Especially in a case like yours. So I wouldn't worry about it. :cheers:
