Tinted the windows today
 

So today I had the windows tinted, been wanting to for a while, seemed like a good thing to do. The car is still filthy, from the gravel road on Monday and all the rain - beats snow. Oh well had to show. C'ya

that looks great, you need the ventshades now!! mo money, mo money!!

Rain? We still have close to 12" of snow on the ground, and 6" of hardpack in places.

Looks good, once I got my Monte (already tinted by the dealer) I decided I couldn't drive a non tinted car again

Coolness!!!! That's not fair, I'm only a couple of hundred miles northeast of you and we have tons of snow on the ground!

looks good what percent is it?

looks good man

Looks good!!!

I always liked black on black

I used to have lots of family in Rockford and Roscoe up there, and this is about as far north as I want to go, I actually will become one of the many unemployeed soon as I wouldn't move to Minnesota for my Job with my company.

As for % went 20% on the three back and 35% on driver and passenger side.
I did 15% on the back of my Trans Am and that can be a little tough to back in the garage at dusk since my garage faces west and you get the sun in eyes backing into a dark box.
In Missouri 35% is the darkest you can do up front, which is not bad, I don't think Illinois will let you do anything up front.

Only thing left on the list is black headlights, still on the fence, I think our headlights are weak stock, and I would hate to have less light after the swap, and our driving lights are very weak.

Looks good!

Looks very good. Poor thing looks cold out in the rain haha.

Looks great. Every Monte needs this done!

I'll take that TA for you so the Monte can sit in the garage.

the law in missouri is 35 but i got 20 on the truck & i get away with it, but i need to get the monte done soon, got the drivers side window done but thats it, it survived the roll over lol

Looks great, both rides are sweet.
Get the head/tail light covers and stronger bulbs.

window tint
 

Ditto on what Blacksheep said............

You just can't beat a black on black combo when it comes to nice cars. :cool:
I looking to tint my windows this spring. I think in Ark. it's 20% for side
windows and maybe 70-100 % on back glass. I'm not tinting the back glass.
I have a defroster back there.
Nice Car, keep it up. :cool:

i have 35 all the way around accept the windsheild

The tint dosnt affect the rear defrost, in anyway.

Any way it looks good man, but if you clean your windows your self make sure the product is tint safe. If i may recommend Stoners Invisable Glass. Good product and tint safe.

hey man i was wondering how you liked the change from the 35 on the front to the 20 on the back? I'm getting mine done in about a week and didn't know if i should do 35 all around to keep it lookin the same, or do like urs the 35 and 20. I live in IL so all i can do is 35 on the front. Thanks for any input.

Mine is about the same is that with it different in back. You can tell the difference but when you drive you will be more annoyed with your non tinted windows then you could be with it not matching. Also it stays cooler inside.

I am very happy with the two different tints 35/20. But my decision was really how dark to do the rear, 15, 20, or?. My TA has 15 rear and 35 sides and that 15 is dark, not bad for driving forward, but backing into the garage in the evening when the sun is setting in my face and the garage is dark is a challenge. Below are pictures.

This pictures is before the Monte was tinted.

Looks good, I think i'm for sure gonna go 35% all the way around now!

I'd just like to mention...that T/A is sexy as hell.

(and the tread on the back tires is looking awfully abused :D )

The picture you see with the rear tire was taken 7-13-2008, car was 9 years old and those were the factory equipped original tires.

7-31-2008 she got new shoes. :)

I couldnt get tires on a car like that to last over a week. You have the self control of a monk.
