I have TINT!!!
For those of you that were wondering when i was going to have window tint put on, well, tonight was the night.
After my last trip to JP Importz, I had a few dollars left over so I headed over to see my old friend Butch Rawlins at Sunray Custom Tint and Graphics. He cut me a hell of a deal, one i could not turn down.
He has tinted many cars for me in the past, so this one was no different. He decided he could take a hit and eat some of the cost since I have been so good for business.
Before tint (excuse the spare, nearly had a blowout earlier, tires are on the way!)
next up, the tinting process.

The rear windshileds angle and the age fo the rear deforsters made this particular panel extremely difficult we had to do it twice, and it may still have to be redone yet a 3rd time.
(the woman getting in the car is Butch's wife and his helper is the one doingt he cutting...he had to run an errand so he couldnt start, but he did help finish)
^ryan is fiddling with the tint, not likeing the way it turned out that time...sooo...
REDO!!! they had the computer cut it to shape autmatically, it came out of the cuter pre scored so the lines are perfect, all they did was pull the excess off and heatshrink it to the rear glass, to shape it. do...deee...doo...dee...doo
^ i went around front and snapped a pic while they on the other side finishing up a vinly for that white van. Thats Butch in the bacground in the red shirt
back glass, almost done! Butch is actually inside the car right now, sqeegeeing the rest of the bubbles out...but you cant tell he is in there...that tint is DARK.
^And the bubbles are out, but Butch isnt...hes taking a break...this car wore him out! : :lol:

Nice tint. How did you get those stickers to stand out so well?? Are they on the outside of the window?? And also, why did you apply the tint on the outside of the car on the back window??
Looks good and dark though.

we didnt apply it to the outside, it was just sized, trimmed and heatshrunk to the shape of the glass from the outside. the film is applied to the inside.
the shades are 30% front, 5% rear, i wish it could be 5% all around but...TX State troopers dont like me as it is...
The stickers are silver, and they are applied to the outside of the glass.
My SIlver Clublexus Stickers came in the mail today too
