Default Final Mod for a While - Tints

Well, I have had some fun over the past 1.5 months doing some basic modding to my new 2011 GS. Most af the mods have either been aesthetic or Audio related.

Today, I had the car tinted (35% all around) and I am pretty happy with the results. The only thing I hope that improves as the tint sets is the dot matrix appearance. It is a bit shaded, and my installer does tons of Vettes and said this is a normal issue.

Here are pics:







On another note, I had purchased Neoprine 2-tone seat covers from RPI. After installing, I hated them. If anybody wants them at a huge discount PM me.

They have to put black vinyl on the upper hatch over the dot matrix, then tint up to the black vinyl. Window will look perfect from the outside. What you see now actually gets worse as the tint settles.
