Window Tint

[subgraphic]

For stubborn tint:

you need 1 blk trash bag, 1 blade,1 spray bottle filled with amonia, 1 mid day sun.

Cut the bag to roughly the shape of the window, spray the amonia liberly on the tint, place bag on tint, pressing all bubbles and wrinkles out... leave in sun for 20 min.

Remove bag, spray again, scrape. It will come off like tissue paper.

I would consider 20% tint. I have it on my black boxster and it looks close to limo tint, but from inside its not near as bad. plus, you can barely see through it from the outside, so its almost legal... at least in missouri, here its 35%. Ive had no problems with cops or inspections.

If you think you are going to have trouble with an inspection, just drop the top and roll the windows down. At least it worked for me, here just south of Dallas. I have illegal tint and love the look both from the inside and the out.

I have been going back and forth about tint. It's gets really hot here, but I'm not sure I'm convinced. I bought a tan interior to help with the heat. Can one of you guys post a picture with the tint?

By the way, I was at a promotion party last night and got hammered. I spent the night at my buddies house and woke up feeling pretty rough. Got in the Box, drove 30 miles home and feel like a new man. I love that car.

I have a black boxster with gray interior. heres a pic, but keep in mind the sun is directly glaring at the window, any other time it would be impossible to see inside of it without being 2 feet away and standing perpendicular to the window. sorry for the quality, I might take some pics with MY camera later.

It's only 986, but:



This is not limo. It's the next step up, maybe 20%?

Jeph, you need to take off you EZ Tag, spray it flat black and re-apply it to the windshield so it disappears. Then it will be as stealthy as your dark tinted windows.

I'm way ahead of you bro. I've done exactly that already, however this is just a good (older) shot of my tint job. It's sound advice, so I thank you anyway.

Thanks for the compliment! My car is neither lowered nor 19ed. Just a good angle of the car with my 18s. I fully support your decision to tint.

As a pedestrian or motorcyclist, I think you should assume the drivers can't see you -tinted windows or not.
It's plenty hot here in TX. Not tinting the driver's window would look utterly bizarre!
