Re: Tinted windows on a SSB
Does anyone have a silver Crossfire with tinted rear window? I'm thinking about doing so, but I'm not sure if it suits with the silver. I saw in the gallery some red, white and black ones. With those it looks great. How about a SSB? Who has some pics? In the gallery?
Thanks
Thanks
Sold my graphite with 167000 miles, bought the SSB with 62k. Don't expect the "new one " to be as great a car, but you can only hope.
Both '04 coupes, no learning curve! (tho they were built 5 months apart and the first one built, the SSB, well, has more little demons . like window switches in backwards!
Re: Tinted windows on a SSB
This is good advice for anyone considering tinting the windows on the Crossfire. My 2007 Coupe is tinted all around & looks to be fairly dark. But it was like this when I bought it used in OCT, 2008. Previous owner did it to the car. I've never been stopped by local authorities questioning the darkness.

The 3M "Crystalline" films comes clear as glass and in various shades of tints. This new technology blocks 99.9 UV and 97% infra red and still reduces solar heat gain by some of the best percentages regardless of the shade of tint. Only the very blackest films reduce heat gain more and they are most likely against state law just about every where.
You can have very good interior heat reduction, chose the tint of your choice (none to smoky gray) and be street legal with this newer film. The darker shades do reduce glare better.
It does cost more, but it can be the best of both worlds. Very good heat and damaging ray reductions, while being street legal. I did my rear hatch on a coupe> $150 with life time warranty.
If you are just going for looks and have no care about ray and heat reduction there are less expensive films out there.

Hey DD,
I have an SSB srt6 roadster and have the back and side windows done, med tint all the way around.
When I first did it, I also had the rims the original silver and was on the fence if I liked it. I plastidipped my rims to flat black and that solved the problem. It is really all about personal preference.
I have been told it is illegal by more than one police officer when being stopped - but no tickets (for speeding either - yahoo...), they usually want to discuss the car...
Every once in a while they do a big crack down on tinted windows and if you get pulled over at one of the check stops they will make you peel it on the spot or give you a ticket that they will cancel if show up the next day at the station and show them you have done it. Only front, drivers and passenger windows up here are illegal, all other windows are ok.
If you do get stopped and have an option of not peeling on the spot and showing up the next day, do that, it is easier to remove with some goof off vs peeling and then trying to clean up the adhesive mess i find... I had this happen on my dodge truck years back, the cop just peeled my windows, no choice, no discussion - I was young and full of **** and vinegar so the interaction did not go well and I ended up in the back of his car and off to the police station.... Long story short - after me bitching and stating he had no right to touch my truck his supervisor agreed and I filed a formal complaint and had to show up at court down the road, the judge agreed and ruled in my favor - funny part is I got reimbursed for the cost of tinting my windows (I had already had them re-done the week after the incident).
Anyway, I know my rights and don't let any police officer push me around.
