Default Electron Blue With Tint

Since there is a running thread with yellow, lets do Electron Blue since mine is blue. I have always had my vehicles tinted and with this one I am on the fence. I usually get 20% all around. Anyone got any pics of the EB with tint they want to share. Post them up I would love to see them.

Come on guys. Play the game. Post the pics.

I am thinking maybe next week, I take my car down and get them tinted. Need to stop by and see what they will charge me. They have done several vehicles for me. Probably at least 10 different ones anyway.

Nice looking vette. I just love this color. With the tinted windows it looks even better. What percentage is that?

The only reason I got a Z was this color just got my attention at a local dealer's lot. The tint was already on and I don't know the %.

Chrome Z06 wheels seem to be a popular choice!

Thanks Eddie.

The windows were tinted when I bought it so all I know is that it's more than 0%, but less than 100% .

In those pics it looks darker than it really is though and I don't know much about window tint so I couldn't even make an educated guess.

Took it down today and got the tint added. 18% on sides and rear. I was going to get the eye band across the front but the guy could not get the mirror off. I told him not to worry about it right now and I would get the mirror off and come back to him. No need to hurt anything.

Your rear window looks like mine where the "dots" are. I have seen some cars where the tint does not seperate there, I don't know how they keep it from doing that. My tint guy took a lot of time and used a lot of extra glue, or whatever they use, to keep that from happening, but it still did!!
