greasemonkey · 04-05-2004, 06:49 PM

You'll like it. I have the 3m stuff on my back and side windows, and it looks real good.

1970blazin · 04-05-2004, 06:56 PM

Would love to see pics when you get it back- am going to be tinting the blazer, but I want it to look nice. Thanks!!

DavidM · 04-06-2004, 12:07 AM

WEll back window and both sides and wings out the door was 190.... even i dont know if thats a good deal to you all but sounded good to me seeing as my 2000 dodge stratus cost me 350 ish to do just the back 3 windows.....

and it looks good looks just like a factory job and 3m rocks

To bad its dark outside ill getsome pics taken and posted

**Yukon Jack** · 04-06-2004, 11:36 AM

Eager to see pics. I'm thinking about lightly tinting the windows in my K20.

Bill72BB · 04-06-2004, 11:42 AM

I know its only 7.46 here ,but we are waiting for the Pic.

Dean · 04-06-2004, 11:42 AM

Should look real nice. Too bad just about all tint is illegal in Ohio. I bought a car from Florida that was tinted and got two freakin tickets before I finally removed it.....

dubie · 04-06-2004, 11:49 AM

I'm gonna black out mine for sure. It actually pretty easy to do on your own. I've done it to a few of my own trucks in the past. We used to use 5% Limo black on them in high school, but you couldn't see sh!t thru them at night

Tim; I'm glad you said that ,I thought it was these old eye's and it's almost as bad during the day with sun glasses on.

man!!! tint sure is expensive over there in CA. i got mine done for $45 at a pro. place back in high school.... (Pampa, Texas)

Hey David,
Where in Modesto did you have your windows tinted at?

I saw you + your truck at around 12:30 today while I was heading to work.

Truck looks pretty sweet.

I bought all new glass from vintage glass in a dark smoke and it only cost 350 bucks shipped. This was the complete truck, includung windsheild and vent wings.

and it will never scratch like the film. but it it does im screwed.

DavidM · 04-09-2004, 02:31 PM

Central valley window tinting off of Kerian ave at the end of Mc Henry

They did good work and I would recommend them highly.....

Faster_than_you · 04-10-2004, 09:06 AM

Dave- you got any pics now for us?
tuck- was thinking about doing that my self. and trust me the tint windows dont scratch at all. or atleast the ones on my old burb didnt.
to everyone else- tinting windows is not that complicated on our trucks, actually tinting isnt that hard at all. just have to make sure everything is lines up. I would recommend if someone has there windows out already just to lay the tint on the window outside of the door. that way you know that you wont have any missed spots. and use a heat gun to make the tint shrink right up to the window.

Tuck · 04-10-2004, 09:15 AM

Here is a picture. the price to have it done in film was only 100 bucks lower than doing it in custom cut glass and I got the windsheild too. its a no brainer. it fit perfect.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-10-2004, 10:59 AM

Tuck that sure look's good david no pic's yet??
