Re: Tinted SVX's

A repost for me from a while back when I took my car to the Sierras.



Only the rear windows are tinted (CA legal) but black on black looks pretty good IMHOP. I wanna see more. Who else got some?

Since this pic was taken I removed the tint from the front windows.

He was pulled over by the Maryland State Police and given a repair order because they thought his tint was too dark. He went to the State Police Barracks and they checked it with their light transmission meter and found out and he WAS legal. They put this sticker on the inside of all his windows so that he won't ever have this problem again. If he ever gets stopped, all he does is point to the stickers.

Re: Tinted SVX's

First Silver here? Here is my first SVX, my second has an interesting reflective tint as well, but MUCH more subtle. I currently dont have any pics that show the tint well though . But in anycase, if your looking for different possibilities, I think this was striking, and pretty cool. Even if its over done on ricer cars these days.

Re: Tinted SVX's

Not sure... I told the shop to install the darkest legal tint possible.(35% ?) It took them 4 hours to do it (coz of the svx windows). They did do it professionally and neatly.
(edited to add %)
