tint?

[mattpiotr]

I'm thinking about tinting my side windows 20% on the 86 and doing 5% on the front vizor what do you think? anybody else go this dark on their truck?

[piecesparts]

I have 20% on the back window and 35% on the sides. My son likes 20% 0n the sides of his vehicles, but it makes me feel like I am in a cave and when you want to back up in the dark, forget it, without rolling the windows down.

Our county mounties love to ticket for that stuff--it is easy pickings for them--they don't have to apply a lot of logic to the process.

[cory d]

my cousin has 5% all the way aound, you just dont back up lol

[Pro Performance]

On my daily driver I have 5% on the side windows, and double 5% on the rear doors and back window. I like dark windows

On my 84, I am doing all clear. For some reason I like that look on a older bagged truck.
But in general, to answer your question, I think a nice 20-35% on the sides would look good. Same on the back or maybe 5% on the rear. I thinks your truck would look good with tint.

If you search around 3M now has a nearly clear film which has an effective tint. It is very expensive, and I don't know if it is proven yet, but it sounds like a good idea. I don't like stick on tint because of the reflection you get on the inside of the window at night, and my rear window show the refection of the hood in day time. The factory tint like on the new vehicles is the best way to go.

mine has 20 all arond and the side window that roll down are 5 soon im redoing it all to have 5

I just have my back window done with 20, I want to do the side glass and a visor would be nice too but theres scratches on my side glass and I know it would show in the tint. Gotta get some better glass first.

5% for the back, and 25% for the doors and wings.... although it's illegal here in California to have ANY sort of tint on the front windows... but, oh well

It really helps, especially in the summertime... it makes the air stay cooler, when I run the A/C

Thanks,.. you know, I got those caps and rims from a local junk yard... and they were diiiiirty.. I rattle can painted them, and polished the heck out of the center caps..

She shoes her age though, if you look close...

sweet, it looks mint. The 70s and 80s gm cars that had rally wheels usually had color keyed wheels right out of the factory. Wonder why they never bothered with the trucks, it just brings it together.

Yeah, I know..right? I always thought they did too..when I seen them painted up. My uncle had a white 87 with white powder coated rally's, and that was real trick..
although, if I'm not mistaken, he also had the center caps with the tri-star spinners.. I like that look, but can't seem to locate where to get those

[76stepsidechevy]

I think there was a guy selling them on here a while ago. There were tri bars that fit the factory centers and you just had to drill a mounting hole I think. Heres some maybe you can make work for you.http://www.spinnercenter.com/bolton-...9c82f845eaf40f

You ever get hassled from the law?? My folks got pulled over for having theirs tinted up on their Altima.. by a CHP. Had to pay the fine, and pull em off..sucks

I got stopped in my square once, and was verbally warned, by a Sheriff, around my neighborhood (in the city), which was weird,.... but no ticket.

I got stopped and warned by a Sheriff.. one time. No fix it..

its because they are pathetic , and cant really fight any real crime so they go for something easy like your tint or your licence plate light being out.

just lazy pathetic pigs on some kind of pwr trip

I had a 71 Olds, back when,..and the license plate light story is what they used for "reasonable cause", to pull me over.

However, it did work, and I plainly showed it worked.. so I told the cop.. "sorry, try another one", and he says.." It has to be visible by 50ft"... " I says, "what? it's an old car/lens...you were still able to get my info from the plate...right?, because you knew my name and addy when you questioned me".

For my tenacity, I get a fix it ticket, and had a warrant for some fines... but still...complete B/S

[boatpuller]

[vegas80step]

I have 5% the sides and back, and 50% on the windshield... on both my trucks...

the only time I have a problem is driving in AZ, I get pulled over every time and get a "warning" no fine, nothing to do.
crazy thing is they have this think the put over your side glass, it shines light threw and tell them what percent your tint is...

here is Vegas I've never even had it brought up.
