Default Convertible with window tints

Does anyone have any pics of their convertible with window tints?

Either I suck at searching the forums or no one has tinted the windows on their convertible. I dont think its the latter.

Did 2 side windows, not the back window. Really helps with sun here.

I did sides and back, but no pics. It looks like any other C7 with tinted windows.

Yup. Doing the back one messes up the auto dimming feature.

Here's mine with Llumar Air 80. Hard to tell it's tinted but it repels Heat/UV like the dark colors do. I save the dark tint for my minivans.
PS: My guy did not want to do a ceramic because of the compound bend of the side glass. Read up on how they are installed and you will see why many don't want to do a thick ceramic on a Vette side window.

Evidently the tint caused mine to darken slightly. Also, I've noticed that it doesn't darken quite as good at night when cars are behind me. I will not tint the rear on the '17 when it gets ordered after next years bash.

State allowable is all I know. Small sticker under tint says complies with some spec. Driver side is lighter than passenger side. 3M tint. Dealer did it.
