Finally got tinted! DUW

Shiroelex · Jul 2, 2006

Except it's all stupid looking around the dot matrix at the top of the rear window. I decided to take a few candid shots at my garage, which isn't the best area for photos, but there aren't many places near me that I was willing to drive to for glamour shots. Yeah, I need to learn some detailing techniques, because my car never cleans up as sharp looking as half of the cars I see on here. Especially Killy's....

I'm seriously considering getting a saleen front bumper, and can't decide what hood would look cool with it. Maybe a subtle 2" cowl...

i like.......what % is that?

Shiroelex · Jul 2, 2006

5% on the back window, and the rear quarters. 20% on the doors. I'm thinking of getting a strip of black vinyl for the top of the rear window to cover the dot matrix, but that might end up looking worse.

What springs are you running?

Shiroelex · Jul 2, 2006

Eibach Saglines with some homemade spacers. I need to do shocks and struts real bad.

Okay. Yeah those springs suck, but the stance looks good. But it might be those 315s out back setting off the look.

As far as the dot matrix goes, it can be tinted over. You just have to find somebody who knows what he is doing. The guy that tinted my mustang knows his stuff. It came out great. No bubbles or peeling at all.

Nice looking car mang!!

About those 4.56 gears.. How does the car feel with those in it? That's a hell of a lot of gear man!! You do any highway driving?

Shiroelex · Jul 2, 2006

I've done a little highway. The gears are alot of fun, but they make first gear almost useless. I take off in second alot when I'm just running errands or whatnot. I can pull pretty good in 5th now, not like it's something I would do often anyways. The car does drop off pretty furiously though at top end, when my tach is maxed. I don't know what my speed is compared to my RPM yet, because I don't have a speedcal yet, but soon!

Looks nice. I need to get mine tinted someday. WI tint laws suck though, you can only have 50% on the front and 35% on the rear windows...

Shiroelex · Jul 2, 2006

Heh, I'm not allowed to have any on my front windows at all...
I usually cruise with the windows down anyways

A cop pulled me over in my Ranger once, which came with 5% on the rear window, and the extended cab windows, and said my tint was illegal. I asked why, and he said it's an obstruction of vision. I asked him why big rigs and conversion vans without rear windows weren't illegal, and got a fixer upper ticket

It looks good!

5speedstang · Jul 2, 2006

if you want what you can do on the top of the rear window is go outside on a sunny day cut the tint with a razor along the first line on your de-fogers on the back window and peal the top layer of tint off. then get paint prep and wipe down the area. tape it all off and just use a 5 dollar can of flat black spray paint on it. you wont be able to tell a differnce. that is what is done on mine and i have 5% on the back and looks good.

My tint guy took steel wool and knocked the matrix down a little, then he used a heat gun while working it. He spent a lot of time on it, took twice as long as my truck, but it came out really nice.

I had the vinyl done on my '96 Cobra, here's the best pics I have of the job
