adventures in tinting
 

me and my bright ideas....i went to the tint place to get my windows tinted...i admired the show car with totally illegal tint...so i said, "i gotta have it"..my car rolled outta the back lookin amazing, totally badass, couldnt even see in it clearly with a flashlight...i was so happy with it...i figure to bang a chick around lunchtime on times square in this car now....11pm comes around...i can hear the engines in the distance of the streetracers taking to the highways...i rev up my stang...i hit the roads....I COULDNT SEE A FUCKING THING!!!! it was like drivin blind...and i couldnt roll the windows down to get a visual cause the tint is too new...i was drivin more off memory than sight...like a blind man remembering where the couch is...what a waste...hopefully it will get a lil better when i can roll down the windows cause this sucks

LMAO. goodluck :D. what % is it?

Not to mention the cops are gonna love you now.. Geez it looks like your windshield is tinted.?. You may want to go lighter than that if you keep your windows closed much.. ;)

its the absolute darkest...i think 5%...i couldnt even park the damn thing right...i cant roll the windows down for 4 days

i know my car wasnt that bad at night with 15% on the 2 side windows. my friends truck out here in germany is dark as hell cant see anything. im about to put 15% on my car again and i will see how it goes same brand tint that was on before, LUMAR.

lol nice one StrtRacr :D . just take a razor blade and cut a "peek" hole in the front drivers side of the windshield tint ;) . problem solved.

sigh...it really is wicked looking though

to hell with seeing! As long as it looks good.

Lol..I'd take the tint off the windshield atleast.

I have had 5% tint on my windows for a year now I can see fine. I do have to roll my windows down when reverseing since the rear view mirrior is pointless when its night.

you put that dark tint on the windshield!:eek:
Thats insane! You really should take it off. lol

its not on the windshield...it just looks that way cause the other windows are so dark..i'm gonna keep it for now cause the possibilities are kinda fun....every female in my car is gonna be topless from now on...plus i'm hopin that when the windows can roll down that'll help a lot...it just sux now cause its too cold at night to roll em down even if i could and drivin without being able to see behind you or on the side is kinda hard

looks good though street. Gotta love the look of limo tint.

5% tint looks great, but it's terrible during the night. a buddy of mine who has a stang has it and it made me decide not to get it after riding around with him at night with his window always half down so he can see.

so true...but i cant get enough of looking at it during the day

looks like you cant see in daylight either. failed at making it within the lines of a huge handicap parking spot....

government payed employee, hunts fugitives and parks in a handicapped spot...hmmm

yep...i also sneak into movies and have been known to engage in anal sex too...both of which are against the law in some states...hmmm...i park my car where i wanna park it...you turned into a snitch now?

*chuckle* good call stanger00.
BTW, streetracer, your tint does look badass... too bad it is killin your night driving

just pointing out the obvious

do you have a flamming walking cane like House? :D

who cares where you park in an empty lot? hes been in germany too long...next he'll be demanding my "papers" lol...

thanks tsumi, i'm hopin once i can roll the windows down it'll be much better

hmmm... illegal tint, parking in a handicap space with a normal space open RIGHT NEXT TO IT, and a license plate that says street racer. Yea, nice, not.

your the one who put it on the internet. i can give 2 shits where you park i just thought it was funny considering your line of employment that you park in a handicap spot :rolleyes:

i may not be from center city like you are but 10-20 days out of the year when i was married i would stay in san fancisco. parking is a nightmare there and i would just walk everywhere just so i wouldnt have to spend 20-30 minutes circling 3-4 blocks waiting for a spot to open. most times i just said fuck it and got my 35 dollar ticket.:t:

are you fuckin kidding me? you make an issue of where i put the car to take a picture? you somehow think my job governs where i park? get real choirboy...stop thinkin in 2 dimensions...IT WAS AN EMPTY LOT...omg there was an open space next to me...yeh..there was about 50 open spaces next to me...for the record, i liked the fact that i took the pic with illegal tint, a streetracer plate and parked illegally...makes a good wallpaper that we'll laugh about in the office...or did you think that we were all robots in the office?...did you think they flipped a switch when we clocked in and out? this is a perfect example of why i dont name my job agency or title, a perfect example of why i dont post a pic, cause i try and have fun and some boyscout would try and make an issue of everything i do...you dont give a shit where i park?? ok then shut your trap and move on to a different thread

sorry dudes...he took it off the track for a sec...point of all this was to watch your tint percentages...it does make a diff

listen here man.... i was bustin your balls and you got your little panties in a whirl for no reason.


theres no sarcasm button on these boards and not everyone is out to get you. so take your foil hat off and join the party.

haha, foil hat. haha

4 Days?... lol... you have got to be kidding me. What kind of crap tint is it that it takes 4 days to stick? I have 3m tint and was able to roll the windows down the next day.

the only reason you have to wait is because of the water/soap/achohol solution they use to slide the tint in place and work out the bubbles, you should be find by the next day at MOST.

4 days. lol...

put on yer man pants and roll down the window ya woman.

it was 200 bucks jack, if they say wait i'll wait..lol...they did give a reason though for the length...they said it was cause its freezin cold...said if it was hot it would be so much quicker

I got my tint done while in Canada and rolled down the window 30 minutes later to cross the border back into Detroit. No problems with my tint after 4 years.

It should not take 4 days.

Street, looks nice but man you gotta mod that thing. Throw some wheels on there with some fat tires out back! Do somethin!
