usually 3 to 4 days of keeping them up.... the tint needs time to settle onto the window.... you have rollers inside of your door that will put streaks in the window tint...

You got it, fellow. Once you tint your vette windows, particularly if you are a member of this forum, you MUST NEVER ROLL DOWN YOUR WINDOWS AGAIN.

NEVER.

Sorry, but I, for one, like the law. I like to be able to see where the other driver is looking before I pull out or try to figure out what he/she is doing!
And there's a whole lot of state and locals here in the western part of PA that are not caring what's on your windows!

I was blowing down Route 1 in the Z a few days ago and had a Trooper pull up behind me. I was already looking for a good spot to pull over when he got back in the passing lane and kept going.

Needless to say, I got the point! PA Troopers are pretty cool.

By the way, I've got the limo tint:

good day for you ! lets see,biggest police force in the US where im from (NYC) probably more people get pulled over in a day than most places see in years,yet tinted windows are legal in the state of NY. tints protect the interior,and they lower glare. bad guys with weapons aren't going to let not having tints stop them from carrying concealed,wonder why its not a nationwide law and some states allow them. im all for tints,but GB the LEOS too,thats a very tough career

Rick:

They were on the car when I bought them. As much as previous owner tried to tell me they're GM option chromies, they seem to the the reproduction. Either way I like them (for now.)

Go to the North East forum and check out the local cruise set for this Saturday @ Ridley Creek State Park. I'll most likely have the Z there for a bit.
