Question 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

I've got the rear window and rear 1/4 windows done in light smoke to hide rear hatch area from preying eyes. From the rear it looks blacked out but from the sides the rear 1/4 windows do not look much different to side windows.
I didn't want all tinted windows and this works well.

Sorry, no pictures.

Thanks for your replies.
zrdstr3: do you have a picture that shows the car form behind? That the rear window is visible.

Thank you for the pics. Did you tint the side windows too? Or does it just look like? Anyway, to tint side windows is not allowed here. But the rear window looks real hot and I'm gonna let it make soon.

Thanks

Question Re: Tinted windows on a SSB

Sorry to ask this, but what does "SSB" stand for? As far as tints go, I plan on getting 50% all the way around, just to add a little touch to the car and keep the temp a bit lower in the muggy summer months.

Yes. All the side windows are tinted along with the back, 20% on all of them.

it would be 35%...i don't believe 30% is offered. take a look at "mighty's" car below, he has this set up on a black crossfire.

I can see fine. You go through a slight adjustment phase in the beginning. Plus the view out of the rear takes about a month until its totally clear. The solution takes a little bit of time to dry / cure.

That combined with HID headlights make it a no brainer.

With the side windows done, you aren't being blinded by trucks stopped behind you at night.

Backing up requires to roll down the side windows.

Did you do it on your own?
I will only need the rear window to be done. Here tinted front and side windows are not allowed.

I didn't do it myself. Not worth the headache. I'd rather it be done right.

Cost me $100 for all the windows.

Sorry question: what is limo tint?


But like Mr. Garrison said to his South Park scholars: "... and remember children, there are no stupid questions - only stupid people ..."
