7a7SS Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hello All, I saw a red SS about two and a half weeks ago and from that day couldn't get it out of my head So last week I picked up my Black SS And I've been turning heads ever since! My question is: Has anyone tinted there windows yet? And, if so what grade did you use? Thanks in Advance Seven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Seven, Welcome aboard. Yes, I tinted mine. I got the darkest AZ law permits. I honestly don't know what number that is, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWT Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Seven, I've got 3M 5% on all five of my 01 windows. Of course the driver and passenger doors are illegal, but I have had no problems with the law. I have been stopped a couple times for other moving violations and the tint has come up in conversation with just a warning and a request to have it taken off. I have heard the horror stories of police stripping it off of the windows right there on the side of the road, but if you're cool with the law enforcement and give them the respect that they deserve for what they have to put up with daily, they usually return the favor and hand out warnings. As far as getting the vehicle inspected, I've got a couple of friends who have their own state inspection businesses, but have found out with other cars that I've owned with mods (cut-out catalytic converters and the such), that most out-of-the-way small towns usually have some inspector that lets the local farmer with his beater pass, won't give you much trouble. That's just my experience with tint. And check it out Lee, no smilies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2xtreme Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 If you want to match the factory tint in the back go with 15% I just got my dad's 03 Z71 ext. cab done today, matches perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Hey, Tinted my windows last week-looks great. Keep in mind the reason that you bought an SS is to get noticed, just dont give the cops another reason to be noticed by going too dark. The interior is a dark charcoal which already gives you a background which is dark. The tint guy let me know that, and tinted accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 15% is ideal IMO Matches perfectly with the back and still allows you somewhat of visibility at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsen Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 has anyone tinted over the factory tint on the back three windows? if so how dark? don't want anyone to see in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2xtreme Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 johnsen, I had a 94 full size blazer and tinted over the factory tint in the back with 30% and then I did 5% in front. Talk about stealth you could not see in at all, but believe it or not it wasn't that bad at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsen Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 so, 30% over the factory will give me that look. cool thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTERSS Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 I am not sure what tint I have on my truck, but if there are no streetlights availible, I have to roll down the windows to see backing up at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
