I feel like the tint made the car look more modern and newer! Awesome. :)

Awesome! Love the 1st and 3rd shots, 1st has an super crisp feel to it. The tint looks right for what I want to do to mine, so thanks for the preview.
What % tint did you go with? Do you have an attachment to the stickies on the trunk?
I can't make it out what they say, but I just got finished pulling my 15 year old dealer sticker. :dontknow: I had a little bit of paint fade around mine though so beware.

Very nice!

Where did you get the tint? What percent? and did you do it yourself? easy or hard? Sorry for all the questions. It just looks so nice and I would love to do it to my bonnie. They have similar, if not the same windows.

The tint was done by a local glass shop; it's Llumar film, 35% front, 20% rear. I don't think it's something I would want to try myself, especially the rear windshield.
Do you have an attachment to the stickies on the trunk?

The metal badge is from the GM dealer that sold the car new (Wills GM), and the sticker to the left is Amsterdam Football Club (I think). Not going to try and remove either due to paint fade.
