Default Finally tinted the daily drivers!

I know the pictures suck, and the cars are filthy- but I finally got them tinted. Definitely needed to get it done before summer hit since moving to a warmer state

Impala: (35% front side windows, 20% around back)







GP: (5% all around, 50% on windshield)









I'll try and get some better pics up once I get the cars washed up and I get a break from work (65 hours last week... woot!)

Yeah, I wanted something to cut down the sun coming in a bit. I originally wanted 35% on the windshield (a couple local guys have it on their vehicles, and it looks great)- but the tradeoff for better daytime driving compared to much worse night driving wasn't quite worth it to me.

I guess its pretty common out here- he had 75% and 65% along with the 50% for the windshield- and I'm glad I went with the 50%, from inside the car- you can barely tell the windshield is tinted at all, even at night (I leave for work at 4am)- and from the outside its just dark enough that you can tell its a bit darker than normal.

This is the first car I've had with the windshield done- we only did a couple at the sound shop I worked at back in Indiana. Its honestly so mild of a tint, that inside you wouldn't even really know its tinted (unless you open the window to see what 0 looks like). The back being 5% doesn't bother me- my monte has had 5% on the back for years and years, and I just get used to it. At night time, you can still see the headlights fine through it- you just have to watch for cars with their lights off- but as long as you're a pretty aware driver, its not that bad.
