Post I wanna see some pics. I know you guys are out there!!!!

I know some of you guys have some heavily modded SC430s out there. So as I'm considering tinting my SC, Primarily the rear window and small quarter windows, I'd like to see what this may look like. Mine is a Indigo Blue with Saddle. I know darker tints appear differently on cars with darker hues. However I'm just trying to get a feel. Part of me likes the myterious/sexy appeal of a blacked out coupe and the other part enjoys the visibility of a see thru show all window. Basically I'm undecided. so without further ado..................... Show me your tints!!

Well, I wouldnt mind seeing a close up shot of your Stoptech's Henry

Summers coming and ive got the upgrade buzz

Been thinking about getting one of these US mailboxes and shipping the stuff home (UK) that way.. got a big shopping list.

Where did you get your Stoptechs Henry. Found one place that sells a 4 wheel kit but with slotted disks. Or can you just ask for drilled instead?

The SC430 I took a test drive in before I bought mine had the windows black tinted and whoever did it really messed it up, was peeling on both front windows. I know it was just a crap job but enough to put me off aftermarket window film for life.

Ive got the proper tinted privacy glass on my Range Rover and thats the only way it should be done IMO.

I got 18% tint on my car I dont really want to take pictures of the car till I am done with stage 1 I'll see if I can take some pictures of just the wondows for you if you want. THe sun in florida is murder so even though 18% is illegal tint its well worth it. Sun can cause cancer!

Hahahaa smartass I mean for when its up, but actually in the morning when I go to work and in the afternoon when I drive home it does help with the windows up and the top down since its at the right angles for it to block sunlight

OMG its my 1000'th post!
