Default Window Tint!! WOOT WOOT!!

After wanting tint for a couple years of wanting to get my windows tint, I finally pulled the trigger and got it done. 35% in the back and 50% on the sides.

This is the look I wanted for my Monte. Not too light and not too dark. As the guy said, if I have to leave the windows up at a car show, people can still peak on the inside (and those of us that went to the GM Nationals this year know about having to leave windows up lol).

Looks good. Window tint always makes the car look better.

Looks great, 35% is a nice subtle touch. You ever thought about having the headlights done in the mesh stuff?

Thanks everybody. I am really happy to finally have these windows tinted. Nothing over the top and it looks great.

@luxico - I have zero want to mess with the headlights at this time. I like the high visibility the factory lights project and don't want to mess with that. Thanks for the thought.

@supercharged04 - those are magnaflow tips (very similar to the ones in the now discontinued GMPP exhaust kit). 3.5" wide and look great. You can also get away with the 4" wide ones easily. The trip is to get the ones that go further back (I think mine go 7" back and their are others that only go 4" back). If you want the part number PM me and I can send it later today when I get home.

Trust me, if you don't have the high sports kit, you'll want the 4"

Looks great Jason!!!

Big difference! Thinking I will have to get mine done once the tan interior is out and the black/red pace car interior is in.
