!!UPDATE!! Tint or Not

Ok, so I ended up getting my windows tinted yesterday! Many of you voted in my other thread and I appreciate that... Here are my tints 15% all around, 75% windshield. I LOVE how it turned out. The 75% on the windshield gave it just that little detail... See for yourself and let me know what you think.





















I know the car is dirty.... but it was 38 degrees this morning when I took these pics... will wash later... heh.

tint > no tint

IMO....when the windows are tinted, you actually look at the car itself and not through it. That make sense?

Can you take a pic from the drivers view of looking out the front windshield?

Im actually thinking about painting the badges black... I think it would have a nice contrast... we'll see, then if I don't like it then I'll just take them all off! lol.

i dig. did you tint the ENTIRE windshield?

in texas all you can do is a little strip across the top of the windshield for blocking out the sun.

you know i wish mitsu didnt cover the door pilars with the black trim, it takes away from the windows when they are tinted. Even the black evo I saw this time had the cover.

The black regular lancer is the only one that is body paint

Theres 2 easy ways to do it, either get a heat gun and warn it up a bit, then shiv it off with a plastic wedge, a real thin one. Another way is to get some dental floss, and floss it off .

After you get the badge off make sure you get some wax paper and put the glue end on the paper and wrap it up, that way if you ever want to reuse the badge you can reuse the glue and all. You're going to want to get very mild thinner as well to get the lancer outline out, it'll take off the factory wax but its really not noticable.
