I'd make sure the front and the sides are the same. Maybe not even paint the whole emblems, but either just the raised portion or the just the recessed portion. You could always paint the rest if it doesn't look right to you.

I'll try to find the picture I saw of the car with all the things I describe already done to it. It looked really nice. I'll try to find it after work this evening.

We're going to have opposite cars. I'd like to have one of each.

Nice job!

I had the windows on my Subaru tinted the week after I bought it and the shop gave me two options, legal or limo. I went legal to keep the cops away.

The tiny bubbles worked themselves out and I only clean with Stoners Glass Foam (no ammonia). Can't beat a professional job. My after market tint is almost 7 years old and it still looks factory.

Hope you have the same luck with yours.

Looks good bunghole!

Jakashh · March 17th, 2010, 02:34 PM

Tint looks great, buhwall!

Seabee · March 17th, 2010, 02:35 PM

Looks alot better. Red and black ftw.

But 2-3 days without rolling it down? The shop I got mine done at said a day and I would be fine. And that was with both stangs of mine. They never came off or got messed up either.

Reloaded · March 17th, 2010, 02:46 PM

Very nice. MUCH better! BTW, when I got my tint done, I had little bubbles in the tint right after he did it. About a week later, they all went away and it was nice and smooth. Guess it just takes a little time out in the sun to fully "set".

Depends on the temperature outside. Right now in Atlanta it is cold and rainy. No sun. That makes a huge difference.

True. Just seemed like a long time for it to set. But better be safe than sorry.

i had it on my 03gt, and i know other members here have it on there's, hopefully someone will post a pic up, so u have something to refrence if it ever happens

I have had three mustangs tinted all by the same shop, and all three tinted the entire back glass with no bubbling or peeling.

Bubba, I think you should most def paint the emblems, I did mine this weekend and its worlds better!

no way dude, i love my saleens lol

i went outside today to check out my tint before it started raining, and i'm not impressed at all with the rear glass. big bubbles, not the tiny ones that will go away after a few days. it's starting to peel on the rear too, and there are scratches in the tint.. i'm taking it back next week to make them fix it

also, they didn't even clean up after themselves.. i left the place with water running down the outside of the door, and didn't notice until i got home, but water stains running all down my door panels..

MikeJones · March 17th, 2010, 11:36 PM
