Tinted windows...yay or nay?

[agent orange]

Well, too late! This past weekend, I spent about an hour taking my tinted film out of the truck. Not really a big fan of tinted windows. Made it easy by using a heat gun.

Before & After

[Hazieview]

Honestly on a truck like yours I think it looks 10 times better without the tint. Do you have any pictures of your interior? If you have a nice interior I think not having tint is better. Nothing like a nice clean window to look through when admiring a good looking interior.



Oh and one more thing those wheels you got put some 20s to absolute shame. Nice truck! Laterz!

I am a fan of the tint. I just got my '06 tinted and am very pleased. I hope to get some tint on my '86 when the time comes. A truck like yours looks good either way

[75silverstep]

In the past i was a tint it as dark as you could guy, but now im just the opposite the no tint looks good.Mine has all clear glass now.

When ever I see a truck or rod with tinted windows I always think they are trying to hide a ratty interior. To make a truck look clean as hell those windows need to c-l-e-a-r as hell.

Tinted windows on older vehicles looks like crap IMO, it isn't soo bad on newer however. Classics shouldn't have tinted windows.

Actually that is completly backwards if you have a really nice interior you want to have tint to prevent the damaging effects of the suns uv rays from destroying it.

I have tintid windows to protect my interior from the sun i have nothing to hide form anyone when i go to a show i put the windows down ain't nutin' clearer that that!

around here tinted windows are a necesity. this brutal south texas sun will destroy a dash pad. i personaly have tinted windows on all my vehicles. im thinking of takeing the tint off of my 83, then haveing it redone. i do think that some cars/trucks look good with out tint.

[72BlckButy]

For me it depends on the vehicle... some vehicles look great with tint and other don't, plus there's personal preference.

[Cherub]

Man that look 10X's better. I like t he fishbowl look

[Joe67]

On a show truck like yours, you can pull off the clear windows.

Maybe it is the orange color?

[C-10volvo]

Looks good bro. Just ditch the wipers and you're set.

[old Rusty C10]

i like the tinted windows but not real dark just enough to keep the interior cooler when parked in the sun
im going to do mine once i replace the windshield

[boatpuller]

i like em limo black........

[G35MIKE]

nice truck ^^^

[1970pelle]

Tint +1.I like the back window limo tint dark,side windows med. .Just last weekend removed my back glass and tinted it.Easier out of the truck.And here in Florida a vehicle without tint is no fun to drive during the day.

I like tint with certain colors. My truck is black and i think black car/trucks look good with really dark windows. That said i am not a fan of purple tint on any car. To me tint is two face. I like the look on certain cars and with certain body colors. But i am not a fan of driving with tint at night or when trying to hook up a trailer at night. Then u gotta roll down the window just to see your mirrors. I do like the old gasser tint such as the pee yellow or bright red. But again it only looks right on certain cars. tint can make the body really pop and has some good beinfits in the hot sun.

Your truck looks good in both. But i kinda like the see threw

[spudz]

Gots ta have the tent... 15% on the side glass and 5% on the rear.......Looks gangster ridding around with black windows rolled down just far enough where you can see the top of my head lol. EXCEPT 4x4s that see alot of off road time.. its hard enough to see out of tinted windows let alone covered with mud.

Im still working on the interior at this time and just prepping what i'll be doing. It's just going to basic (stock) look. Hopefully , ill have pics soon

[79GMC_OLDS]

[DubDubU]

The only trouble with tint is you have to roll the window down to flip somebody off.
Sweet looking truck either way.

yeah, mine was tinted all the way around (except winshield of course), plus i would hate to roll it down or keep down if im cruising around town. Just another way for cops to pull you over for probale cause in california.

[1LoC10]

looks good either way.... i took mine off last year, but thinking of getting it done again

If you want to keep it nice you should go with some uv tint it almost clear but blocks a ton of uv light.their using it mostly for high end house with 30,000 dollar coaches and stuff.I'm sure you can get some somewhere. IMHO I like the clear.
